Eliška Klimešová (born 2002) is a Prague-based visual artist. Her work begins with attention to everyday situations. She uses photography as a way of staying with a place or a situation long enough to notice what emerges. She is interested in how images are formed through time, repetition, and presence. Her workflow is slow and intuitive, focusing primarily on the process itself—exploring and allowing materials and situations to guide the outcome. Waiting, walking, returning, and observing are essential parts of her practice.
