Anna Jermolaewa
Anna Jermolaewa (b. 1970, Leningrad) works primarily in the mediums of photography, video, and installation.

Since 2019, she has been a Professor for Experimental Art at University of Art and Design Linz, Austria. Anna Jermolaewa represented Austria at Biennale Arte 2024, and has had solo exhibitions throughout the country.
