Linda Zhengová is a Czech-Chinese photographer, curator, and writer currently based in Amsterdam. Her work delves into the themes of representation, sexuality, and trauma, using photography to challenge societal boundaries and taboos.
Zhengová’s images, often spontaneous and personal, capture her romantic and friendly encounters with strangers and fleeting moments of pure happiness. Her erotic imagery, evocative of a bygone era, suggests that memory is the space where love most vividly resides. By confronting viewers with moments of vulnerability and intimacy, her work invites a deep reflection on the intensity of human relationships. Through this, Zhengová challenges us to reconsider how we connect with both ourselves and others, offering a delicate balance between discomfort and empathy.
Her artistic practice is informed by academic and visual research, and she has authored several publications, including The Ambiguity of Visual Representations of Trauma (2020), Catharsis (2021), Katabasis (2023), and Strangers (2024). These works explore emotional landscapes, memory, and personal history, often uncovering hidden layers of trauma and healing.
She editorially contributes to platforms such as GUP Magazine, FRESH EYES, Extra Extra, and Discarded Magazine.
