About
Lisha Zhong is a ‘British-born Chinese’ artist interested in exploring cultural dysphoria and the reconstruction of oneself against the myth of authenticity. The works often utilise the transient nature of memory and language to express the nuanced notions of ‘identity’ and ‘worth’.
They are interested in the tension between the individual and stereotypical, thus culminating in a playful, mixed media practice. Through re-interpretation of found objects based on their personal value and assigned usage, they want to invoke and highlight an alternative reading of the archetypal narrative.
