Elke Mohr was born in 1967 and lives in Berlin where she studied sculpture. She has also worked and studied in Paris. Her latest works are generated from shopping malls, automobile showrooms and vacation villages. She uses different media, employing installation, sculpture, video and photography. Her projects oscillate between documentary concreteness, aesthetic composition and the quest for universality. By using observation as a starting point, she studies chosen situations to develop works that reflect the social environment.
