His work is part of numerous public and private collections across the country including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New York Museum of Contemporary Art, LACMA, The Hammer Museum, the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle, the Orange County Museum of Art and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. His practice is an ongoing investigation (using digital technology and media such as photography and video) of the contemporary, banal, suburban architectural landscape in an attempt, not only to formalize, organize and (at times) romanticize it, but also to complicate ideas of truthfulness and "the documentary".
He is represented by ACME in Los Angeles. Amir Zaki lives and works in Huntington Beach.
