• biographie

Elina Brotherus, born 1972 in Helsinki, Finland, works in photography and video.

Her early work dealt with personal yet universal experiences, the presence and absence of love. In her series The New Painting (2000-2005), Elina Brotherus probed the relation of photography to art history and found inspiration in the iconography of classical painting. In Model Studies (2002-2008) and Artist and her model (2005-2011), she continued to explore the human figure within a landscape, and the gaze of an artist on his/her model. In her recent work 12 ans après (2011-2012) and Annonciation (2009-2013) she returns to the autobiographical approach of her youth.

Elina Brotherus lives and works in Finland and in France. She has been awarded several times particularly the Prix Niépce of Gens d'Image, France (2005). Elina Brotherus has published four monographs, including, most recently, Artist and her model in 2012. She has exhibited since 1997 in institutions such The National Art Center, Tokyo; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark; Saatchi Gallery, London; Biennale of Sydney; Istanbul Biennial, to name a few.
