Lena Matrosova was born 1984 in Moscow in the former USSR, since 2008 she lives and works in Berlin. She studied Photography at the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts as well as Linguistics and Communication Science at the Technical University of Berlin. The significant feature of her work is the open question which often hides behind irony. The artist immerses herself in the themes very thoroughly, so it allows her to show seemingly understandable everyday topics from an unexpected point of view. She prefers not to give answers to the questions that are hidden in her photographs, but to give this right to the viewer.
