Elena Rocabert (Madrid) practices at the intersection of art and architecture. Her work, which takes form in painting, sculptural production and spatial intervention, centers on material experimentation to explore speculative fictions and cycles of transformation—rebirth, decay, and the tension between destruction and creation. Fiction, often tinged with dystopian undertones, serves as a critical tool in her practice, opening speculative paths for research and reflection. 

She holds a degree in Architecture from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (ETSAM) and the Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin). From 2021 to 2024, she was part of the curatorial team at Medialab in Matadero Madrid,  the artistic research labs LAB#01 Sentient Media, LAB#02 The Metabolic Sublime, and LAB#03 Synthetic Minds. In 2024, she collaborated with TBA21–Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary and the Museum of Altamira on an artistic research project focused on non-human temporalities and cultural landscapes.

Her work has been exhibited at the Kimma Biennale (2026)  and at venues including Funkhaus Vienna (2025), Teatros del Canal (2024), Madrid Design Festival (2025), Mayrit Biennial (2024) and the Sala de Arte Joven of the Community of Madrid (2025) among others. She has completed artist residencies such as Matadero Madrid, Never At Home (Funkhaus, Vienna), Pluto (Valencia), and Organismo (TBA21, Madrid). 

Rocabert won the first edition of the AD Creators Awards in 2024, received a mention at the COAM Awards 2025 in the Ephemeral Architecture category, and was a finalist at the 2026 Casa de la Arquitectura Awards.
