Elena Helfrecht is a visual artist based in Bavaria. Her practice revolves around the inner space and the phenomena of consciousness, emerging from an autobiographical context and opening up to the surreal and fantastic. Interweaving experience and imagination, she creates inextricable narratives with multiple layers of meaning, characterised by a visceral iconography. Within her work, photography serves as a direct connection between the internal and the external realm. Through this process, she relates individual experiences to a collective history, turning personal involvement into a shared understanding. She is influenced by the folklore and landscapes of her home, and her love for Art History and Psychology.
