The Weird Sisters (2023–2025)
The three witches in Shakespeare’s Macbeth are more than mystical figures: they embody the power of language and the blurred line between fate and free will. Their prophecies act like a mirror — do they shape Macbeth’s destiny, or merely awaken what already lurks within him?
This series interweaves the literary archetype with the witch as a symbol of forbidden knowledge and female autonomy — from the wise female figures of the Alps to the demonised imagery of the early modern era.
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (July 2026)
Colour set in motion defies control — dripping, flowing, merging, or fragmenting, driven by gravity and impulse. The canvas becomes a mirror of human hubris, and a metaphor for the uncontrollable forces of our time: AI, autonomous weapons, technologies that long ago began following their own laws.
New works in black and white, featuring two figures: The Apprentice, and the Ravens — an homage to Hitchcock’s The Birds.

Non-House — From Non-Place to Place of Art
Marc Augé coined the term “non-place” to describe transitional spaces such as airports, hotels, or shopping malls — places that exist physically but lack identity, history, or social connections. But what if the non-place is not outside, but within ourselves?
In Non-House, Elisabeth explored this inner landscape. By photographing, distorting, and literally turning these spaces upside down, she transforms them. The images exist between reality and imagination. The camera becomes a tool of appropriation — making the invisible visible, the fleeting tangible.
The “place of art” emerges where the non-place becomes material: where absence turns into presence, silence into expression, and transit into arrival.

Dialogues with Water
Aquaprad — Prad am Stilfser Joch, South Tyrol
Water is the foundation of all life. While we often take it for granted in our part of the world, elsewhere it has long become a scarce resource, a political issue, and a trigger for conflict — along the Nile, the Jordan, or in the Indus Basin.
Dams, diversions, but also the melting of glaciers here in the Alps (Eternal Ice, 2005) as a consequence of climate change are intensifying struggles over distribution. Some regions suffer from drought while others battle floods — both consequences of our relationship with nature. The question is no longer if water will spark conflicts, but where and how severe they will be.
Water connects us all — as a resource, as a responsibility, as a challenge.
