Elke Krystufek (b. Austria, 1970) is a contemporary Austrian artist who creates self portraiture in a variety of media. She studied at the Fine Arts Academy of Vienna from 1988-1992. Her work is informed by a history of Austrian artists – from Egon Schiele to VALIE EXPORT – who have explicitly explored sexuality in art.

Krystufek works across a variety of performative media including photographs, videos, paintings, and mannequin installations. Her work often involves issues of narcissism and self-censorship in the audience, by fusing popular culture with a personal sexual iconography. Momentarily, she represents Austria at the 53rd International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia.
