Theodora Kanelli was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1988. She studied Architecture at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2007-2014) and Fine Arts at the Institut Supérieur des Arts de Toulouse (2014-2015) and at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Beaux-Arts de Paris (2015-2018), in the studio of Jean-Michel Alberola.In 2017 she completed the scenography forGaël Octavia’s play «Cette guerre que nous n’avons pas faite», that was presented in Paris and in the Caribbean. Painting is her main medium. For the last couple of years she has been working on the project «Le journal du voyage en mer du héros X», a literary and visual research on the concept of return from a previous life, inspired by a collection of theatrical plays. The core of the project is an invented cartography of abandoned islands and the sea connections among them. Theodora’s last work refers to the invention of a mental game, through which she explores the meaning of «Hybris» and she creates connections between past and present times. Currently she is participating in the team project Jeu et Rituel, yet another game placed in three different times and spaces. In October she is going to participate in two group exhibitions in the La Maison des Ensembles and Le Salon Réalités Nouvelles in Paris.
