She works with performance, textile, installation and text, almost always connected to sound and sound practice. Elina has a background in art and film, and in 2015 was named Young Artist of the Year at the international indigenous festival Riddu Riđđu. Since then, she has taken part in a number of group exhibitions and performance programmes. Elina's artistic work is closely linked to her Norwegian and Sami affiliation. The meeting between Norwegian and Sami in her own family becomes a picture of the power relations that haunt our society as a whole. In her work, this intimate look at society becomes a platform for exploring themes related to identity and outsiders. In her sound work, she often combines the use of voice with field recordings, electronics and self-built instruments to create aural spaces that lie somewhere between reality and fantasy. It is the emotional and narrative qualities of sound that interest her, and how it can function as a time machine, causing time to collapse and setting both the future and the past in motion.
