Elli Antoniou’s practice is a meditation on screens and the absorption of this absurd object as a normative element of contemporary society. It is an introspection and an invitation for reflection; a dialectic process of interrogating proposed notions of singularity. Thoughts on light and acceleration guide her research on spacetime and the increasingly disappearing present. Her images reveal enigmatic forms and speculative spaces vulnerable to interpretation. 

 

Antoniou weaves a fluid language across digital and physical means of making, employing an array of processes; from chemical and mechanical treatment of steel plates to the creation of computer generated environments. Fragments of her esoteric world are revealed in the form of steel engravings, video works, computer games and digital prints.
