Elena Shaura

Elena Shaura is a contemporary artist based between Monaco, Paris and London.
Her practice developed through two parallel fields: writing and architecture. As the author of a novel that later became the foundation for several long-term artistic projects, and after more than twenty years of direct involvement in contemporary residential architecture, she became interested in the movement of structures between different domains.
Working across installation, sculpture, kinetic systems, painting and mixed media, Shaura develops projects in which manuscripts enter physical space, urban infrastructures reappear as bodies, and mechanical systems participate in image-making. Her recent projects include Journey of the Manuscript, Bodies for the Text, Network Bodies, Dislodged Bodies, Unsheltered, Sweeping Pendulum and USBrush.
She holds a PhD in Philosophy and a Law Degree. Her work has been exhibited in Paris, London, Monaco, Berlin and Antibes, including Grand Palais Comparaisons, Mall Galleries and Grimaldi Forum.
