Eleonora Paradise is an artist based in Berlin. She studied foreign languages, literature, and philosophy in Amsterdam.
In 2013, she began writing poetry and associative prose—free, rhythmic, and jazzy, inspired by the Beat Poets. For her, writing is not about creating according to a plan, but about a process of tracing—one discovers the direction only by walking.
In her artistic practice, she is drawn to the fleeting details that everyday life casually leaves behind: a ray of light, a flaking coat of paint, a word caught on the wind.
In 2024, she discovered that poetry can also be created using torn advertising posters and glue. What Hains and Villeglé recognized on the streets of Paris in the late 1940s, she sees today as well: every torn-down advertisement is an agglomeration of words, colors, and coincidences, waiting for a new arrangemen.
In collaboration with Michael Wismar, she has since been exploring how these posters can be made aesthetically tangible through collage and décollage. After sealing the work with a layer of dammar resin, she contemplates the finished pieces and distills her observations into the Japanese poetic form of the haiku, which then becomes the title of the artwork.
