About the Work
About the Artist

A long-term artistic study of the underside of the natural and cultural landscape of the Krasnoyarsk Pillars Nature Reserve.

On the border of the city and the taiga, among the syenite rocks, for almost two centuries there has been a subculture of people who are particularly connected with space, with each other and with the concept of freedom. For more than 10 years, Elina has been filming the life of the community and the surrounding landscape from the inside, capturing a side of nature and culture that is invisible to many.

Visual artist, photographer, and designer, graduate of the Rodchenko School.

In her artistic practice, Elina works with phenomena and imagery situated at the intersection of knowledge and imagination. Through them, she explores the connections between natural and cultural landscapes, the driving forces of communities, local mythologies, and the fluid nature of memory and communication.

She works with photography, archives, artist books, and textiles, and also creates objects and installations.
