Today we highlight the work of Elena Sohmen (
@666fail ), featured in “Notes on Looking” at Floor 0.
Elena Sohmen (1999) is a Spanish German interdisciplinary artist and curator whose practice moves across photography, performance, video, painting, ceramics, and inclusive dance. Her work explores questions of power, accessibility, and perception, weaving together personal and collective narratives.
Often using public space as a photographic studio, Sohmen transforms everyday environments into sites of artistic production, challenging traditional hierarchies and opening up new ways of engaging with art. Working closely with friends and collaborators, her process is intimate and collective, positioning the everyday as both subject and material.
Through strategies of appropriation, decontextualization, and the use of visual clichés, her images, while seemingly harmonious, carry subtle tensions that reveal underlying structures of power, gender, and ableism, inviting us to look again at what feels familiar.
“Notes on Looking” is a group exhibition that brings together photographic practices exploring different ways of observing and interpreting the contemporary world, where the act of looking itself is constantly questioned.
