Elina Brotherus (Helsinki, Finland, 1972) is one of Europe's most acclaimed photographers. Her mediums of expression are both photography and video. In her early work, she addressed personal yet universal experiences: the presence and absence of love. In her series "The New Painting" (2000–05), Elina tested the relationship between photography and art history and found inspiration in the iconography of classical painting. In "Model Studies" (2002–08) and "Artist and Her Model" (2005–11), she continued to explore the human figure in the landscape and the artist's gaze toward his model.
In her projects "12 ans après" (2011-12), "Annonciation" (2009-13), and "Carpe Fucking Diem" (2011-15), Elina returns to the autobiographical approach, albeit in a more detached manner than in her youth. More recently, she has revisited Fluxus event scores and other written performance instructions from the 1950s-1970s. This earned her the Carte Blanche PMU Prize, which was presented with a solo exhibition of "Règle du Jeu" (2016-17) at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 2017.
