Elenaruas

Urban exploration is an activity as old as human kind. Technically, it is the exploration of manmade structures, usually abandoned ruins or hidden components of the human environment. But it is an activity that goes beyond curiosity. During the exploration you are exposed to sublime aesthetics, a suspended sense of time that generates a feeling of freedom and to liminal spaces that take you to the margins of environment, sociality and phylosophical concepts. Elena is a visual artist based in Italy and Spain. She explores abandoned sites and buildings, searching for compositions made of light, textures and special objects. They are all Damaged Treasures.
