Elena Aya Bundurakis is a Greek-Japanese artist and photographer born in Crete island. She uses her camera as a sensory device, rather
than a technological tool. Using the japanese method of 'mitate'
-seeing and using something that exists already for a long time
in a new way, she aims to make photographs that activate all of
our senses. She focuses on exploring organic sensations like: how
does it feel to have a flesh? What is the primal form of nurture?
Or how does it feel to pop an egg out of your body?
Using herself as a specimen of the human experience, she questions what it means to be a living organism in the post
natural-world and proposes ways to deal with the stress of
existing within our bodies in a world that is constantly mutating itself. Images collide and divide according to the situation.
Drawings, video, and haikus are incorporated in installation
constellations.
