Elsa Werth
Elsa Werth (born 1895 in Paris) is engaged in a multidimensional work : installation, sculpture, video, artist's book and sound. Through an economy of means she claims non-spectacular gestures as resistance tactics. She diverts words, objects and gestures from their common use. Her approach counters commodity production and challenges normalized information. Thus questioning the criteria for works of art to exist in an environment where representations are standardized.
