Elena Stelzer is a Israeli Conceptual artist whose work critiques social and political systems, especially those of the art world. She is best known for her large-scale site-specific artworks which are associated with Institutional Critique, taking the form of temporary architectural alterations and interventions.

She often uses institutions both as subject matter and as venue, which has at times caused controversy – as seen in her BFA graduation work Harpoon 12 at the Shenkar College of Multidisciplinary Art, a work that was invited to be exhibited in the framework of the Triennial of Modernism in Berlin (2019).
In Stelzer's most recent work SUBMISSION (2022), she precisely calculates the amount of tension the building of the Bezalel academy can undergo before reaching its breaking point.
She completed her master's degree in Fine Arts at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design (2022).
Stelzer is the recipient of the Shenkar Arts Encouragement Award (2019) and recipient of the Excellence Grant from the Daniel Arison Foundation (2019).
