LOUIZA NTOUROU

Louiza Ntourou is an artist-filmmaker based in Athens. She studied Political Science at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and continued with postgraduate studies in visual anthropology at Goldsmiths, University of London; and in experimental film at Kingston University London. Her videos explore the paradox and unexpected facets of reality and reflect on the different ways of seeing ordinary objects of everyday life. For the last three years, she has been working on a series of films entitled The Moment as an Eternity, in which she experiments with the Haiku poetic form and its application on the moving image. The first two videos of the series, To G.K and The Light is Dark Enough (2018), have been presented in various film festivals across the UK, while the video Once Upon a time, a time that never was and always is (2019) was selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries and presented at Leeds Art Gallery (09/19-11/19) and South London Gallery (12/19-02/20). The film was also selected for the Winter Light exhibition at Hayward Gallery in London (12/20-03/21) and for the performance program of Art Athina Virtual (2021). Her latest artist film, Radio Silence (2019), was commissioned by the BBC New Creatives and presented at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 2020 as well as in London Short Film Festival (2021). She has been awarded the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship by ARTWORKS (2022).
