“Within the Confines” emerges as a wholly CPU-composed work, wherein the ethereal manifestation of a monochromatic animal is projected on a small scale onto the periphery of a wall. The visual narrative insinuates an untamed wilderness, encapsulated by the very confines that envelop it. These confinements, both literal and metaphorical, suggest the limitations we impose upon our surrounding world. In this composition, the demarcations between reality and an enigmatic realm are artfully obscured, inviting the observer to question and redefine the boundaries of perception.
Yorgos Papafigos (b. 1989) lives and works in Athens, Greece, and holds a Fine Arts degree in painting from the Thessaloniki School of Fine Arts (2015) and an MA from the Royal College of Art in London – CAP Moving Image (2018). Papafigos weaves video, experimental film, drawings, and sculpture into his work, merging diverse mediums. His creations harmonize nature and digital realms, encompassing visuals and sound to explore contemporary emotional struggles and isolation. Central to his practice is probing the intricate nexus of technology and human existence, scrutinizing how digital media and virtual spaces mold reality perception. Papafigos adeptly wields video, photography, and 3D scanning to meld physical and digital facets, often addressing themes like identity, memory, and cultural displacement. Committed to these subjects, he pushes boundaries to fathom technology’s impact on our ties to nature and each other. By actively engaging with these themes, Papafigos embraces technology’s potential while raising vital ethical queries.
