Artist Statement
The elements constantly reoccurring in my work are memory, time, death, absence and language; their common ground is experimentation with the boundaries of the medium of photography and occasionally video, the boundaries between conscious and subconscious, real and imaginary.

Process Statement
Different planes of images, time or ideas, come together to form a new one. This characteristic of my work has gone all the way from creating collage images in the darkroom and Polaroid assemblages, to digital collage and conceptual video art. As the work evolves it opens up to more tangible works, namely “traditional” collage with glue and bits of paper or installations including monitors, family photos, my own poetry handwritten in hundreds of papers and even stone engraved pieces.
Angeliki Douveri has studied Photography at the University of Athens (TEI) as well as Ecole Superieure Artistique Le ‘75’, Brussels. She also attended the photography course at the Athens School of Fine Arts and obtained a Master’s degree in Photographic Studies from the University of Westminster, London, where she was also awarded at the Lauderdale House competition in 2002 and was shortlisted for the westPHOTO Photography Prize in 2008.
She has had three personal exhibitions and participated in many group ones and festivals, mainly in Europe, presenting photography, video art and recently also installations. Some of the exhibitions were: Fragile Distance, Esthonian Academy of Arts, Tallinn (2003), FOTOBILD, stilwerk, Berlin (2007), photographers:network, Thomas Kellner studio, Siegen and REMINISCE, White Square Gallery, Las Vegas, (2008), as well as 25 Years After, Benaki Museum, Athens (2010).
