Abbas Zahedi
b. 1984, London, UK
Abbas Zahedi is an artist working at the intersections of sonic and sculptural forms, exploring systems of care, thresholds of experience, and the social architectures of our time. His practice has been described as a form of dissociative realism — moving between intimacy and estrangement; attuned to forms of meaning that sit beyond the purely material.
A former medic with training in psychiatry, Zahedi holds an MA in Contemporary Photography and Philosophy from Central Saint Martins. Recent awards include the Stanley Picker Fellowship, 2024, Artangel: Making Time, 2023, and the Frieze Artist Award, 2022. He is Associate Lecturer at the Royal College of Art, London, and teaches widely in the UK and internationally.
