“Filter Object Series” question our stereotypical perceptions of the female representation. Objects, roles and clichés are combined in a multilayered exploration displacing the viewer’s expectations of everyday reality.  Ordinary found objects of popular and consumer culture, placed un bizarre juxtapositions, are utilized in a playful way to depict not the thing but the effect it produces. An assemblage of objects, transitory and performed identities.

Born in Greece, Ioanna currently lives and works in Berlin. Her artistic journey in photography started in 2017 when she decided to take a leap towards a new career and attended the one-year photography course “Photography: Theories and Creative Practices” at the Athens School of Fine Arts.
