PRACTICE

​

Élisabeth Berge is a writer and visual artist whose practice unfolds through prose, analogue photography and artistic protocols.

​

Her projects take the form of books, correspondence, exhibitions, installations and participatory experiences. Her work examines contemporary infrastructures of attention, creative processes, and the forms of relationship that emerge when we slow down, observe and enter into correspondence with a place, a person or an artwork.
