Ellen Tabea Fleig Gracia

"Always rooted in a research-based approach, my practice explores generational histories, memory, and relationships through physical and performative traces. I engage with temporality and space, bringing past experiences into the present. My work, which includes video, photography, and sculptural installations, draws on imagery from archives and embodied knowledge. These different media interact, creating a bodily and spatial experience. Inspired by my mixed cultural background (Argentinian and German), childhood, and family dynamics, I aim to illuminate identity through personal and political lenses. At the core of my practice is the rethinking of documentation and knowledge storage, building connections with traces of the past to explore memories and traumas."
