About:

Smaragda Nitsopoulou is a sequential visual artist, researcher and film director working between Amsterdam and Athens. Her research centers on mnemonic representations of life and death in both personal and collective frameworks. Through filmic narratives and three-dimensional, installative forms, she addresses psychosocial and geopolitical structures, visual culture, and their discontents. Using quotidian vernaculars, found footage and natural resources, she creates interactive works that evoke a shared experience of absence among the living.
