Georgina Kosmatou
Georgina is a visual artist from Greece. She holds an Integrated Master in Audiovisual Arts, Ionian University, School of Music & Audiovisual Arts, Dept. of Audio & Visual Arts. She is a graduate from the ArtScience interfaculty.
She believes in the quality of the innermost feelings which are able to contextualise and create a soulful result. Her vision is to illustrate the equilibrium between abstraction and precision of an idea. She works primarily with video, animations, immersive experiences, video mapping projections, installations and collaborative works, often, though not exclusively, performance related, for dance or music productions. In her works, she aims to explore the convergence of art, science, and design. Her practice involves experiences of listening, performances, sound and video, documentations in image/text and projections.
“I need space” is an audiovisual installation, a visual poem.
I research the relationship between physical and digital, the idea of perception, and synesthesia.
The video installation starts from a personal voyage to lead to a world connected with the other, the unknown. The viewer is encouraged to walk around the space and discover. The installation is about the power of language, blends words that are related to ideas of power, existence, and emotions. It begins with a blank image, like a blank canvas and it builds up thoughts, layers, shapes, etc. The installation is a game of light and darkness, which experiments with a minimal audio environment that illustrates a human experience. The movements are movements between abstract notions in thoughts, a dream-like state.
The project explores a different way of perceiving time, transforming the screen into an optical field, showing a hallucinatory choreography of light and darkness.
