Eva Papamargariti

Biography

Eva Papamargariti has a practice which spans moving image, printed matter, and sculptural installation. Her work explores the cognitive and affective relations between coexisting realities, focusing on the dynamic intra-connections and intra-actions that occur across these systems. The work often unfolds within suspended moments where the grotesque, fictional, and real converge, giving rise to hybrid and mutable worlds. ​Papamargariti’s research and practice engage themes of identification, metamorphosis, simultaneity, and the merging of physical and virtual environments. Using video, text, sound, motion capture, AR, CG animation, 3D scanning, character-creation software, sculpture, and textiles, her projects investigate becoming, liminality, techno-romance, and the symbiotic relationships between human and non-human agents. These explorations trace the entanglements and kinships that emerge from continuous interaction with technological and machinic systems. ​Her work also examines the processes shaped by online presence, including the construction and transformation of identity, the use of vernacular imagery and language, and the architectures of worldbuilding. Further attention is given to the marks inscribed upon objects and habitats through ongoing engagement with digital and material environments. ​Papamargariti has exhibited in institutions, museums, and festivals including the New Museum, Whitney Museum, Tate Britain, MAAT, EMST, Museum of the Moving Image, MoMA PS1, GAMeC, Pioneer Works, Museum of Contemporary Art Montreal, The Bass, Athens Biennale, Mediterranean Biennale, Thessaloniki Biennale, MUTEK, and Transmediale. Residencies include the LUMA Foundation (2023), the New Now program at Zollverein (2023), Onassis AiR and Onassis ONX (2024-2025). Her work is held in public and private collections such as the Dakis Joannou Collection (DESTE Foundation), Onassis Foundation, PCAI Collection, and MOMus Collection.
