Iris Jingyi Zeng (b.1996) is a London-based visual artist whose practice centres on analogue photography, extending through moving image, material experimentation and installation. Beginning from photographic thinking and lived experience, they approach photography as a perceptual phenomenon, remaining attentive to the ambiguity of perception and the subtle relation between self and environment.

Zeng’s early experiences in Yunnan have allowed them to remain sensitive to the presence of nature across cultural and geographical movement. Moving across cultural contexts continues to blur their sense of identity and belonging, bringing natural wilderness, domestic spaces and found materials into repeated presence within their work. These recurring elements form an ongoing enquiry into dwelling, return, pause and suspended belonging. Grounded in darkroom and printmaking processes, their practice attends to the materiality of the image and to the temporal layers that emerge through repeated generation and intervention.
