Evaluator Vasils Karvounis (Artist)

I was born in 1982 in Athens, I'm a visual artist and filmmaker. I studied at Athens School of Fine Arts. In my work I use video through various practices, apart from filming of my work, one of my usual practices is composing or meddling with already prepared material with which I have been familiarized online, in order to create new narrative suggestions. I deals with the concepts of suggestion and auto-suggestion; I interested in the imposition of ideas or emotions through external and internal factors as situations of shaping and changing consciences. In my work there are influences from and references to the fields of psychology, philosophy and, more widely, art. My works has been shown in several exhibitions and festivals including, 27th Festival Les Instants Video, la Friche la Belle de Mai Marseille; 20th Traverse Vidéo, La Cinémathèque de Toulouse; Athens International Short Film Festival “Psarokokalo 8th ISFF”; 7th Cairo Video Festival, Medrar for Contemporary Art; V_Kunst VII “ich bleibe”, Galerie Greulich Frankfurt; VideoBardo, V Festival International de VideoPoesia, Buenos Aires; “Turbulence Area” 5th Odessa Biennale of Contemporary Art, Museum of Odessa Modern Art ; Dada Lives! “100 Artists Celebrating 100 Years of Dada” UC Blue Ash Art Gallery Cincinnati Ohio; Art Video International Festival 2016, Jerusalem Film Museum.
