Elena Sohmen (1999) is a Spanish-German interdisciplinary artist and curator. She graduated in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid, participated in the International Curatorial Program at Node Center, and is currently finishing her studies in Photography at the Ostkreuzschule in Berlin.

Her artistic practice is primarily developed through photography, although it also encompasses performance, video, painting, ceramics, and inclusive dance. Her work focuses on issues of power, accessibility, and perception, exploring the relationship between personal and collective narratives.

Sohmen often appropriates public space as a photographic studio, using urban environments and everyday elements to question traditional notions of artistic production and to democratize access to art. She frequently works with friends and people from her immediate circle, generating collaborative and intimate processes that position the everyday as the raw material of her work.

Through the use of clichés, decontextualization, and intimate narratives—especially present in her artist books—her work addresses broader social issues such as power structures, social hierarchies, gender, and ableism. Her images, often seemingly harmonious, incorporate elements of tension or distortion that invite viewers to question the familiar and reveal the invisible dynamics present in everyday life.
