Jenna Collins is an artist based in London who works with video, text and music. She makes works about narrative and filmmaking that are by turns dark, funny, deadpan and surreal. Born in London in 1973 she moved to Manchester in the early 90’s, experimenting with the creative potential of computers and the internet with the group IDEA, returning to London in 2006 to undertake MA and PhD/doctoral studies at Goldsmiths and Kingston School of Art.
