Les actionnaires

Elma Riza

Statement

Elma Riza's artistic practice revolves around the desire to create two-dimensional, or three-dimensional images, where the notions of place (topos) in relation to the created (imaginary) space and the presence of the body (of the spectator or her own) propose an approach to fiction in an abstract and sensitive way, a fiction of the created or filmed space. Wall, ground, rock, forest, objects become the supports of a visual intervention, which invite the spectator to a concentration of the senses on the visible and the sensitive, initiated by the tension between the concrete and the abstract. Before coming to performance, her first mediums were photography and video. Today she brings them together and is involved in the collective les actionnaires both as a video artist and as a performer.
