Biography

Elsa Werth was born in 1985 in Paris, France. She graduated from both the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs where she studied film animation and École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts. [3] She was awarded the price Humankind Leo Burnet in 2013 [4] and the 23rd Pernod Ricard Foundation Prize for contemporary art in 2022. [5] [6]

Work

Elsa Werth practice includes installation, sculpture, video, artist's books, and sound pieces. She has exhibited since 2013 in France, U.S., China, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland. [7]

Her work focuses on the use of common objects and gestures, systems, language, traditional and contemporary rituals. The interpretation of information and commodity production, their relations to the social circles, are the key approaches to her projects. [8] She uses alternative modes of exchange and expression to contradict a world she considers subject to the cult of material values. Her works are always made with simple means to escape spectacular effects. [9]

In 2014 she has curated with Muriel Leray inside a storage unit in Paris Plus une pièce. Since 2016 she curates Potential Visual Evocations, [10] an ongoing outdoor traveling exhibition that took place in Paris, Clichy, Shanghai, Montreal, La Louvière and Seoul. Participating artists include Claude Closky, Seulgi Lee and Marylène Negro among others. [11]

Collections

Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Centre Pompidou, [12] Kadist Art Foundation, [13] Les Abattoirs, [14] Fonds régional d'art contemporain de Normandie-Caen  [ fr ], [15] the Frac des Pays de la Loires, [16] the Frac Franche-Comté  [ fr ], [17] the Centre national des arts plastiques, [18] the Rennes 2 University Cabinet du livre d'artistes.
