New artist-in residence: Elena Adamou

Elena Adamou’s work revolves around the intimate dimension of the passing of time and the fragility of the human body. Through her artistic practice, she analyzes the connections between time and the body, the relationship of the self with personal objects, and the notion of belonging within familiar spaces and non-places.
To give a physical dimension to the intangible and create a dialogue with the public, she utilizes diverse mediums, mainly encompassing multimedia installations, textile manipulations, embroidery, video and performances.

During her residency (3-16 March) she will be working on ‘ARKA’, a project dedicated to critically endangered and vulnerable species endemic to the Mediterranean.

The residency is funded by the European Union and the Goethe-Institut @culturemoveseurope

Elena Adamou lives and works in Nicosia (Cyprus). She graduated with a degree in Painting from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, where she also earned an MA in Theatre Costume Design.
