She creates spaces for the exercise of alternative ways of living, of relating to each other and for occupying spaces. Many of her works escape disciplinary notions and definitions, incorporating diverse media, such as drawings, landscape interventions, telephone messages, net art, dancing and exercising, real time participatory video performances, Zumba tutorials collective installation assemblages, new media art and technology, self-defense workshops for women, transwomen and dissidents, among others. In many of Elena’s artworks, the audience becomes a creative active collaborator.
