My name is Elsa Groener (she/her). I am a dutch-swedish visual anthropologist, filmmaker and analogue photographer, based in Gothenburg, Sweden.
My curiosity for human mannerisms, feelings, gazes and speech drives the exploration of how we can tell our stories in images and sound. I am interested in the relation between the body and societal architectures and how this relationship shapes our experiences.
CURRENTLY WORKING ON:
'Duizend Kleuren' - a documentary project about Stichting Mil Colores and intergenerational connection withint the queercommunity. (together with Joy Brandsma, Max Jonker and Margot van der Sande)
'PEEK!' - a photo project where we capture reactions in public space to Status Queer's drag characters The Meatbaby (Sam Message) and Sinfluencer (Kolbrún Inga Söring).
