Laura Chen
THE NETHERLANDS
Laura Chen (b.1997) is a Dutch image maker based in London, UK. Working within the fields of photography, video, mixed-media and found or archival material, her multidisciplinary practice associates a fine art and documentary approach where research and implementation are closely intertwined. Recurring themes and interests include identity, memory, tactility, the marginalised, disregarded and overlooked—whether in everyday objects or groups of people who live and work on the fringes of society. For her series ‘Killer Queens’, she photographed 40 individuals from Birmingham’s LGBTQ+ and drag community. The colourful portraits celebrate and explore performance and self-expression.
