BIO
GEORGIOS FYTAS (b.Athens, 1996) graduated from the Department of Interior Architecture, School of Applied Arts & Culture, University of West Attica. He holds a Master of Fine Art in Scenography (MFA Scenography) with Distinction from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, UK. He is a multidisciplinary designer and his work embodies the Carnivalesque, based on spatial narratives of mythic worlds between the familiar and the unnatural. His hand-made visual installations are made by using a variety of media such as sculpture, objects, lighting, drawings, collages, costumes, furniture, puppetry and performance art. He has participated in one individual and ten group art exhibitions and he is working in set & costume design in the theater, exhibitions and cultural events.
Statement
The seemingly intimate –anthropocentric scenes I present in my work, constitute a personal version of reality that works as a spatial metaphor of one hidden identity. In these worlds, reality is symbolically distorted in a metaphysical, grotesque space of perversion and freedom intended to function as the hiding place that one can know, protect or to reinvent himself. Topics such as forbidden instincts, repressed desires, the spectrum of fear, the tendency of inhabiting dreams, the death, the decay, the trauma... my dominate enclosed spaces. In my installations I create and reflect upon hidden zones of the human personality.
