From 1989 to 1995 he devoted himself to the photographic documentation of the Chinese diaspora. In 2009 Zachmann produced a film about the Tian'anmen generation to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Tian'anmen massacre . In 2011–2012 he photographed African refugees under the heading "mare mater". The work documents the fate of African immigrants on their way from North Africa across the Mediterranean to Europe. Zachmann has been a member of Magnum Photos since 1985, and in 1990 he became one of the few full members.

Quotes

“I became a photographer because I have no memory. Photography allows me to reconstruct the family albums I never had, the missing images becoming the engine of my research. My contact sheets are my personal diary. "
