Biography
Anna Ehrenstein (*1993) is an artist based in Germany with Albanian heritage. She studied photography at the University of Applied Science in Dortmund and is living and working in Berlin. Her practice focuses on lens-based arts, especially photography, but she also works in Video or Installation and Performance. What interests her most are visualizations of contemporary issues, to which a broad audience can relate. In radicalizing and exaggerating different aesthetics, while taking inspiration from mass media and everyday life she tries to show different angles in a current process of reflection. Her main focus lies on topics like class, gender representation, sexuality and the impact of authorities, for example regarding police brutality.
She has been awarded and exhibited internationally, for example at the Galerie Lichtblick in Cologne (2017) and the Finalist Exhibition at the Festival Encontros da Imagem in Braga (2016).
