Elma Riza

Elma Riza is a French-Tunisian artist. She studied at the Beaux-Arts de Nantes (2005-2007), then continued her studies at the School of Fine Arts in Berlin to graduate with honors in 2012. She regularly presents her work at festivals and exhibitions.
She has had four solo  exhibitions: Kunstverein Neukölln (2017), La Boîte _ Un lieu d’Art Contemporain Tunis (2018) Galerie Weisser Elefant (2020), STRouX Berlin  (2023). She obtained for her video “When a Line goes for a Walk” the female voice award, during the Berlin Minute Festival in September 2022.  And for a first fiction short film “Trois Femmes”, she has won two  awards at the Bestlov Film Festival & Berlin Shorts Festival (2023).
Her  work takes shape in different media such as video, performance, photography, installation and drawing. Her research revolves around the concept of landscape, from ecological, anthropological and poetic  perspectives. She questions our relationship with the urban, everyday or so-called “natural/wild” landscape. To this end, she addresses the issue of the boundary that defines our spaces and the relationship  between elements, between interior and exterior spaces, between the familiar and the foreign, between the real and the imaginary, between  humans and the environment.
