Lucrezia Abatzoglu

My practice is stimulated by the beauty of lost souls (identities). Different mediums allow me to interpreter them through different ideas as literature, art history, folklore, nature and life experiences. The wonderings are on the definition of the human identity. Ancient Greeks theories of the body, as representation and idea , are concepts running through in my thoughts and work. My focuses are incorporated by sculpture, film, fashion and photography. The view of the human body is not only the relationship between the individual and society, but also the relationship between humanity and the world. My compositions are on the female body as a reflection and a deeper expression of our pride. I am interested to expose and explore the blind spot of the naked female figure. Through my work I seek to challenge these conceptions of the self and the body. I wish to present it as an organ of physical and psychical interchange between bodies- a kind of inter-subjectivity that produces identity. I’m interested in the synthesis of a variety of apparently contradictory thematics : mind and body, nature and culture, inside and outside, fiction and reality.
