Artist statement

Othonas Charalambous is a visual artist, writer and researcher from Cyprus. An MA graduate in fashion and technology from the University of the Arts London, Charalambous develops relationships between the body and emerging technologies. His practice encompasses video, sound, sculpture and installation to create hybridized explorations of spatiotemporal narratives that encompass the body, corporeal existence and seemingly imperceptible nuances of its corporeality. Charalambous is the co-founder and co-director of the interdisciplinary program ‘Platform: A Climate Challenge’ and co-curator of ‘Perceiving Landscape(s)’.
