## Bio

Winston Frederick Sterzel built a following under the name SerpentZA by documenting life in China from an outsider's vantage. He moved to Shenzhen, Guangdong, and stayed for fourteen years, long enough to develop a lens that mixed familiarity with distance. His videos parse Chinese politics and the textures of ordinary existence in a country that fascinates and frustrates in equal measure. The work is rooted in personal experience, which gives it texture and limits it at once.
