1984 年生于香港，他的艺术创作始于摄影，及后以此为起点逐渐衍生至混合媒介、行为表演、录像等多种媒介。他的摄影与绘画结合，而绘画的介入包含个人反思与观察。这些作品不只是单纯的记录，更具有情感、内省与概念。何兆南的作品凝聚了围绕空间及时间的个人与集体意识，由此展开他与香港这座他称之为家的城市之间的对话。

何兆南现于香港生活及工作。
Born in Hong Kong in 1984, his artistic practice is centered around photography, a point of departure from which he delves into other mediums including mixed-media, performance, and video. His photographs integrate drawing and painterly interventions, imbued with personal reflections and observations. These works transcend mere documentation, being emotive, introspective, and conceptual. Ho’s works coalesce individual and collective consciousness surrounding place and time, unfurling his ongoing dialogue with the city he calls home.
Ho’s works have been exhibited at international institutions including M+ (Hong Kong, 2024), Chinese Cultural Center of San Francisco (San Francisco, 2023), Saatchi Gallery (London,2023), Para Site (Hong Kong, 2023), Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei (Taipei, 2021), National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Seoul, 2020), Asia Society (Hong Kong, 2019), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (San Francisco, 2018), Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile (Hong Kong, 2018), Museum Folkwang (Essen, 2015), Casal Solleric (Palma de Mallorca, 2015) and Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts (Yamanashi, 2014), among others. Ho has recently participated in the 8th Yokohama Triennale 2024.
In 2022, Ho co-founded NewPark, as a revamp of 100 ft. PARK, a non-commercial art space that he runs with Billy HC Kwok and researcher Michelle W T Wong, seeking to instigate conversations by organizing the exhibition series “One Hit Wonder” and screenings of moving image works. In 2009, he was awarded the Hong Kong Contemporary Art Biennial Awards. His work is collected by the Burger Collection (Hong Kong), M+ (Hong Kong), Hong Kong Heritage Museum, the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts (Japan), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (USA) and Vancouver Art Gallery (Canada). Publications by Ho include Space and Energy (commissioned by Tai Kwun Contemporary, 2017), good day good night (2015), and Every Daily (2013).
