Biography
Elena Dorfman received a bachelor's degree from Sarah Lawrence College. Her photography series explores cultural tensions between the artificial and natural, animal, and human, fantasy and reality. Known for research-led works in photography, film, and most recently, tapestry, she conducts extensive field studies that have inspired series including Valbona, Sublime: The LA River, Empire Falling, The Pleasure Park, Fandomania: Characters & Cosplay, and Still Lovers.[citation needed]
Her work has been exhibited throughout the U.S. and Europe including the Fondazione Prada in Milan, Italy, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and is the subject of three monographs: Empire Falling (Damiani, 2013); Fandomania (Aperture, 2007); Still Lovers (Channel, 2005). Dorfman’s work from Still Lovers was the focus of several documentary films and the inspiration for the feature film, Lars and the Real Girl. In 2022, the U.S. Embassy in Tirana, Albania, supported her research and restoration work in the National Film Archives to create 'Fragments', a single-channel film installation.[citation needed]
She is represented by Robischon Gallery, Modernism, Frederic Snitzer Gallery, and the Edwynn Houk Gallery.[2]
