Han Bing grew up in an impoverished village in rural China and studied art at Xuzhou Normal University and the Chinese Central Academy of Fine Art. He employs photography, video, multimedia installation, performance art and public interventions to bring the absurd into everyday life. His works have been shown at major international venues including the Centre Pompidou (France, 2008); Asia Triennial Manchester (UK, 2008); Rencontres d’Arles Photography Festival (France, 2007); The Crow Collection Museum, Dallas (USA, 2008); Columbia Museum of Art (USA, 2007); FOAM Fotographie Museum of Amsterdam (Netherlands, 2005). Han Bing began walking cabbages over two decades ago and has inspired hundreds of people across the world to participate in the movement.
