BIO
Is an artist born in Athens in 1977 and living in Amsterdam. In 2008, she formed 'reaction-lalou'. Her interest in cognitive science immersed by laws of physics, ontology and linguistics lead her to an exploration in the intermediary space of conscious and subconscious. Lalou often works with the science of objects – containers, different types of cameras, spatial installations, accumulated performances and film. Lalou's specialization at glass science has been evolving in contextualizing aspects of mass / surface / space/ time /duration in the spheric of cognition by challenging the bodily experience questioning alignment of the vertical and horizontal, depth of space, disposition and disorientation; a performance within the politics of time.
