Yelena Zhelezov is a Belarusian-Israeli artist and director based in Los Angeles. Yelena’s work investigates the representation of body biological and social, and as such takes form of video projection, participatory installation, and puppetry/object performance. Yelena stages considerations of film, language, and architecture  that manage to be both whimsical and critically engaged. She uses strategies of research, editing, and accidents in her practice.

Yelena Zhelezov holds an MFA from CalArts. She has shown work at various spaces around Los Angeles and internationally, including  Museum of Jurassic Technology, Materials and Applications, LACMA, IkoIko Space, the Hammer Museum, and the National Centre for Contemporary Arts in Yekatirenburg, Russia.
