1963年生于北京,1988年毕业于中央美术学院,现工作和生活于洛杉矶和北京。

作为中国当代最早的一批录像艺术实验者之一,朱加一直在尝试以不同的方式记录常态的现象。他往往将镜头锁定于最为日常的人物和现象,又非常主动地呈现一种观看习惯之外的世界。如创作于1994年、曾多次参加国际展览的作品《永远》,他将摄影机绑在一辆三轮车的左轮边缘,随着轮子的滚动前行,拍摄下北京街头的日常生活,不同于一般影像,在一种使人晕眩的状态下,以陌生的视角截取瞬息万变世界中的瞬间。而1995年的《他们俩有过性关系?》,通过在忙碌于城市,陌生的甚至毫无关系的公共人群之间突兀地插入写有“他们俩有过性关系?”字样的牌子,强制地加上一种极为私密的关系,借此关注和思考社会各类人群对于性之类敏感问题的态度。


Born in 1963 in Beijing, graduated from China Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1988, currently works and resides in Los Angeles and Beijing. 

As a pioneer of the practice of video art in China, Zhu Jia always tries to capture ordinary scenes through distinctive methods of practice. He tends to record the most mundane people and phenomena, but also actively presents a world outside the viewing habits. In his 1994 piece Forever, which has participated in several international exhibitions, Zhu attached a camera to the left wheel of a bicycle. The artist rode this bicycle over 10km around the city of Beijing, and unlike ordinary videos, he captured the ever-changing world with an unfamiliar perspective in a dizzying state. In the work Did They Have Sexual Relation? (1995) he held up a sign, posing this very question in front of busy people and even strangers. By establishing these fictitious relationships, the overall artist discusses different people's attitudes towards the sensitive issue of sex in society.
