b.Athens, Greece, 1993 - based in Los Angeles, California.
Antigoni (b.1993) is an artist, filmmaker, and performer from Greece, constructing speculative worlds that pulse between reality and fiction, centering a chorus of queer, femme, and non-human voices existing in the margins of techno-capitalist regimes. They often conduct archival research into sidelined histories or draw inspiration from the potent stories of those living intimately around them—stories they translate into poetic, hybrid films that rupture normative perceptions of time, space, and being. Through a deliberate fusion of live-action performance and immersive CGI environments, Antigoni destabilizes boundaries between fantasy and materiality, creating spaces of sensory disruption and transformative potential. Other times, they create the radical spaces for these kinds of stories to be told and flourish, utilizing speculative storytelling, and participatory sculptural installations designed to foster emergent forms of collective imagination. Collaboration—with artists, friends, lovers, and machines—is fundamental to their practice, grounding their work in relational and intimate methodologies that propose visionary reconfigurations of social, political, ecological, and economic systems.
They are currently working on an interdisciplinary project about reimagining human/robot/planetary interaction through soft intelligences, affective vulnerabilities, and eco-queer relationalities.
They hold an Integrated Master in Visual Arts and Sculpture from the Athens School of Fine Arts in Greece and an MFA in Media Arts from UCLA's School of the Arts and Architecture, supported by numerous scholarships, including those from the Fulbright Foundation, the Onassis Foundation, and the UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation. Their work has been supported and exhibited by institutions such as Bristol’s Center for Contemporary Arts (Arnolfini), Honor Fraser Gallery, REDCAT (Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), PST Art, Gray Area, Hebbel Am Ufer (HAU), Wrightwood 659, NRW_Forum, National Opera of Greece, and the 6th Thessaloniki Biennale, among others.
