Yiming Zhu (b.1999) is a Chinese artist who works and lives in London. She graduated from the Royal College of Art in Photography, and received the Metro Imaging prize in the school of Arts and Humanities.
Zhu's artistic practice stems from reality, probes into how life experiences and metaphors can be visualised. Through the integration of fiction and reality, she illustrates inexplicable subconsciousness and enigmatic cultural metaphors, to invite the audiences to immerse in her visual narratives. Over the past few years, she has been reflecting on her life experiences in eastern and western cultural backgrounds, to cross explorations on topics of different folk customs and traditional cultures, with direction related to interconnection between spirituality and human beings.
朱伊茗(b.1999), 工作居住在伦敦和广州。2023年硕士毕业于皇家艺术学院摄影系，并获人文艺术学院Metro Imaging奖。朱伊茗的艺术实践来源于现实，探索如何将生活经历和隐喻可视化。她通过融合现实与虚构，描绘无法言说的潜意识和神秘的文化隐喻，邀请观众沉浸在她的视觉叙事中。近年来，她不断汲取自身在东西方文化背景下的生活经验，围绕灵性与人的相互影响来展开有关不同民俗、传统文化的话题的讨论。
