Elena Knox
Profile:
Currently based in Tokyo and advancing her research at Watanabe Lab, Waseda University. She creates artworks across diverse media and displines including digital media, performance, scuplture, sound, music and installation. She amplifies human impulses to totemism, idolatry, and fetishism, by which we attempt to commune with parahuman phenomena, and to push back against our ultimate loneliness in the galaxy. During her residency at Australia House, she will create an artwork which refers to Japanese robot, draws on the experiecne of landscape and relates to an expedition to the North Pole.
