Masha Ru (27)
I was born and raised in Moscow/Russia, moved to the Netherlands in 2007. I recently got a PhD degree in mathematics of images. At photoacademy I have chosen direction fashion photography because clothes has always played important role in my projects. In my work I like to combine art & technology, fashion & personal stories and documentaries from parallel realities.
At the moment I am doing “artist-in-residence” within the Bookstore project, Amsterdam.
