Based in Berlin and Milan, her research practice—with sites in Canada, Japan, China, Europe, Russia and Ukraine—employs cartographic, photographic and text-based methods to document, explore, and archive co-constitutive relationships between materials, resources, infrastructures, natural processes, humans and more-than-humans.

Elise also co-leads the architectural design studio ADS7 at the Royal College of Art in London, where alongside Marco Ferrari and Jingru Cyan Cheng, she has been conducting a multi-year research project investigating the politics of the atmosphere.
