Elena Aya Bundurakis



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.
