Iris Lingyu Zhang

             



Iris Lingyu Zhang (b. 1997, Beijing) is a multimedia artist and researcher working between London and Beijing. Her emotionally immersive works span digital and installation-based media, exploring feminist inquiries into the body, space, and desire. Drawing on psychology and philosophy, her practice negotiates identity, intimacy, and cultural memory through porous visual forms.

Iris holds an MRes from the Royal College of Art and a BA in Advertising from the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology. She has exhibited internationally, with recent shows including The Green Grammar at art’otel London Hoxton, Pieces of Me at ARTWORKS East Gallery, Permeate in Vienna, and Instante in São Paulo. Her work has also been presented at IKLECTIK, Hundred Years Gallery, and Boomer Gallery, among others.


My practice navigates the porous intersections of materiality, divinity, and feminist thought. Through autoethnographic methods and free-assemblage making, I examine how female subjectivity is constructed, fractured, and ritualised. Working across digital media, installation, and performance, I explore the tension between visibility and disappearance, intimacy and distance, body and environment. My work unfolds through fragmented narratives, inviting a nonlinear reading of memory, desire, and displacement. It is both a gesture of resistance and a space of becoming.
