Xin Zhang/ Summer Issue

Xin Zhang was born in Guangzhou, China, but works in London. Graduated from Print MA, Royal College of Art in 2023. Seeing images as objects and surfaces of objects, Xin explores the materiality of image-making in combination with contemporary printing techniques, highlighting its material delicacy and bodily sensation. Her work often covers printmaking, photography, and writing.

Taking inspiration from psychological and philosophical studies, she is interested in the fluidity of identities and the dynamic between social structures. Through the traces and patterns underneath the images——the scares, the subtext, the vulnerabilities, the conflicts, they evoke past memories and welcome new encounters.
