LITO APOSTOLAKOU
Lito Apostolakou is a London-based artist with a background in history working with drawing, installation and moving image. Her work is research-based and site-responsive, often fragile, engaging with the architecture of remembered space and the multi-layered narratives of memory and place.
Her art practice is informed by her background in history, in that research-driven inquiry is combined with an exploration of how truth, rather than being objective, is a social and linguistic construct. She is visually investigating the multiplicity of perspectives and human experiences that shape different versions of reality, resulting in narratives based on uncertain or fragmented truths. This conceptual framework is reflected in her diverse use of media, including installation, drawing, sound, moving image, text, and photography, which allows her to explore and question the boundaries between disciplines, and create immersive experiences that engage multiple senses and perspectives.
Drawing transcends its two-dimensional frame to become a tactile object that echoes the presence of sculpture, while moving images may be treated as photo collages or visual soundscapes, blurring the lines between mediums. This approach allows her to challenge conventional modes of presentation and invite viewers into a multi-layered experience where the boundaries of art, reality, and interpretation are continually negotiated.
