Born 1979. Elena Damiani lives and works in Lima, Perú. Her work considers the conceptual significance of archives and the persistence of memory in a society fearful of forgetting. This has influenced her practice and research where she transforms found material into collages, sculptures, video, and installations. Damiani has participated in multiple international biennals, including the Bienal de Cuenca (2018, 2016); Gwangju Biennale (2016); Venice Biennale, Vienna Biennale and IV Poly/Graphic Triennial (2015); Bienal de la Imagen y Movimiento, Buenos Aires (2014); Bienal do Mercosul (2013). Solo exhibitions include Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, Lima (2022); Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA (2017); Museo Amparo, Puebla (2016); MUAC Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City (2015). She was awarded the Grants & Commissions Program, CIFO Art Foundation (2016) and the commission for the David Rockefeller Atrium, Americas Society, New York (2014).
