I am based in Berlin, and work internationally. Informed by a rigorous background in art photography and a passion for music, I often think of lighting design as four-dimensional composition: sculptural, pictorial, and musical at the same time; an all-encompassing vehicle for a communal event. My work is grounded in dramaturgy and driven by the occasion; it encompasses a wide range of forms and aesthetics developed through enduring collaborations. https://yi-zhao.com/Slideshow-Credits Wed, 16 Feb 2022 14:33:26 +0000 Yi Zhao https://yi-zhao.com/Slideshow-Credits Slideshow Credits <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/64e3dabb249e3acbb18adcfc23dc5eb8d85aad90be9c70640976a2fac0a9aa73/4-Nuit-sans-aube-DR-S.-Brion-color.jpg" data-mid="245898857" border="0" data-scale="27" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/64e3dabb249e3acbb18adcfc23dc5eb8d85aad90be9c70640976a2fac0a9aa73/4-Nuit-sans-aube-DR-S.-Brion-color.jpg" />Marie-Adeline Henry and the ensemble in Nuit sans aube at Opéra Comiqueby Matthias Pintscher, directed by James Darrah Blackphoto by Stefan Brion <img width="5999" height="3999" width_o="5999" height_o="3999" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/377aa5896bb4cc60b7757505c9441f8b8bfb4848288a191bee9027437b777156/Bust-YZ-7-T-2.jpeg" data-mid="237094493" border="0" data-scale="23" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/377aa5896bb4cc60b7757505c9441f8b8bfb4848288a191bee9027437b777156/Bust-YZ-7-T-2.jpeg" /> Cicil Blutcher and Keith Randolph Smith in BUST at Alliance Theatre by Zora Howard, directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz photo by Yi Zhao <img width="4500" height="3002" width_o="4500" height_o="3002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0bad4df16ef030e6de51a66dff64bd98295afbf4aebcf900c4a0a608f82750bb/EL_NINO_EVAN_ZIMMERMAN_10783.jpg" data-mid="210709711" border="0" data-scale="23" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0bad4df16ef030e6de51a66dff64bd98295afbf4aebcf900c4a0a608f82750bb/EL_NINO_EVAN_ZIMMERMAN_10783.jpg" /> Davóne Tines and the ensemble in El Niño at the Metropolitan Operaby John Adams; libretto by Peter Sellars; directed by Lileana Blain-Cruzphoto by Evan Zimmerman <img width="2905" height="2179" width_o="2905" height_o="2179" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f125dd2df1922a60211a9cfe34ce4033a0a6d94ebfdecce76f66f84cf987f420/IMG_1865.jpg" data-mid="148315940" border="0" data-scale="23" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f125dd2df1922a60211a9cfe34ce4033a0a6d94ebfdecce76f66f84cf987f420/IMG_1865.jpg" /> the ensemble in The Skin of Our Teeth at the Vivian Beaumont Theater by Thornton Wilder; directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz photo by Yi Zhao <img width="4000" height="2401" width_o="4000" height_o="2401" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/887f53780854a33af9542185d80384f79b58ffa76ab21ea98e9c8e95af0a6bbc/IMG_6958-Slideshow.jpg" data-mid="188688312" border="0" data-scale="23" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/887f53780854a33af9542185d80384f79b58ffa76ab21ea98e9c8e95af0a6bbc/IMG_6958-Slideshow.jpg" />the ensemble in No Man’s Land at Steppenwolf Theatreby Harold Pinter; directed by Les Watersphoto by Yi Zhao <img width="4000" height="2667" width_o="4000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f1865f392f2add082ee5c57d58811d1261ee6039d383741d79025480869aaa0a/_MG_4929.jpg" data-mid="134337928" border="0" data-scale="23" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f1865f392f2add082ee5c57d58811d1261ee6039d383741d79025480869aaa0a/_MG_4929.jpg" /> Somi Kakoma, ensemble, and band in Dreaming Zenzile at McCarter Theatre Center by Somi Kakoma; directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz photo by Yi Zhao <img width="3859" height="2572" width_o="3859" height_o="2572" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fce175b718830a6a6dc8bfed1b4318770513356ba594d76bec0ba93303d9ff47/Bluest---20_3859.jpg" data-mid="133679996" border="0" data-scale="23" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fce175b718830a6a6dc8bfed1b4318770513356ba594d76bec0ba93303d9ff47/Bluest---20_3859.jpg" /> Brittany Bellizeare in&nbsp;The Bluest Eye at Guthrie Theater by Lydia R.
