Profile
My work is meant to challenge our common perception of authority and female reality. I have been heavily influenced by my experience on a personal and societal level, as the granddaughter of a military man, as well as the socioeconomic consequences of living in an idyllic destination of human rights violations. As a result, my art relies on research and the conceptualization of news headlines or political ideas that stem from the current Greek zeitgeist. I mostly work with conceptual art, intervention and the performative, while my visual work revolves around video poems that explore identity. I am inspired by artists such as Artur Zmijewski, Meleko Mokgosi, and theorists such as Judith Butler and Angela Davis. A common thread in my work is an attempt to communicate with the participant, the co-creator and the viewer in ways that can generate long-term change or inspire a will to revolt.
