b.Athens, Greece, 1993 - based in Los Angeles, California.
Antigoni is an artist, filmmaker, and performer 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, I 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.
Antigoni is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Media Arts and Practice at USC School of Cinematic Arts. They hold an MFA in Media Arts from UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture and a BFA in Sculpture from the Athens School of Fine Arts in Greece. Antigoni has been the recipient of numerous scholarships and awards, including those from the Fulbright Foundation, the Onassis Foundation, and the ARTWORKS Fellowship from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
Their work has been exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Arnolfini Center for Contemporary Arts in Bristol, Honor Fraser Gallery, REDCAT Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater, UCR Arts x LACMA as part of PST Art, Gray Area, Hebbel Am Ufer, Wrightwood 651, Athens Biennale, and Thessaloniki Biennale, among others.
