Elsner bases his drawings on photographs of studio interiors belonging to fellow artists (Althamer, Bujnowski, Dwurnik, Kulik, Kwade, Maciejowski, Sasnal). The images depict fragments of these spaces, arbitrarily framed, demonstrating more about Elsner than the artist or the space he’s portraying. His drawings are devoid of people, depicting the partial interiors, fragments of works and numerous objects that add up to build an intimate sort of setup.
