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 a Master of Research from the Royal College of Art and pursuing her second Master’s degree in Fine Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London. She has exhibited internationally, with recent shows including international Biennale THE WRONG, Visions in the Nunnery 2025 at London Bow Art Gallery, Permeate in Vienna, and Instante in São Paulo. Her work has also been presented at IKLECTIK, Hundred Years Gallery, and The Handbag Factory, among others.
