Elke Dreier studied at the Academy of Fine Arts as a master student of Prof. Olaf Nicolai and lives in Munich. In 2017 she received a scholarship at the Fondazione Pastificio Cerere in Rome and was awarded the Art Prize of the City of Kempten in 2023.
In her artistic work, Elke Dreier examines the role of the human body in an increasingly digital world. She researches interpersonal (non-verbal) communication and interaction in analogue space. Everyday communication and movement processes are removed from their immediacy and re-staged in individual videos, instructions and installations, with the interest of documenting possible shifts and at the same time developing artistic options for action.
In October 2022, as part of this artistic research, the symposium "Bodies Move Differently in Presence" took place, where the role of the human body and the resulting interactions with analog space were discussed.
