Haris Epaminonda - Contemporary Art, Films & Installations

Haris Epaminonda

The artistic practice of Haris Epaminonda unfolds across a delicate intersection of contemporary art, film, sculpture, and spatial installation. Working primarily with moving images, found photography, printed matter, and sculptural fragments, the artist constructs poetic environments that evoke a sense of suspended time, memory, and spatial archaeology. Her works frequently appropriate historical imagery, cinematic excerpts, and architectural elements, reassembling them into new constellations that challenge linear narratives and invite contemplative engagement. Through minimalist gestures and rigorous formal composition, Epaminonda explores the fluidity of meaning across different cultural artifacts and temporalities.

Central to her methodology is the interplay between image, object, and architecture, where every element, from custom wooden structures to carefully curated pedestals and ambient lighting, functions as part of a larger, immersive choreography. Her exhibitions and film works operate as open-ended visual essays, bridging the gap between antiquity and modernity, stillness and motion. By engaging with the layered histories embedded within visual and material culture, Haris Epaminonda establishes a profound aesthetic dialogue on how memory and form are preserved, transformed, and experienced within contemporary art.
