About Eleni Danesi

Eleni works mainly with improvisation as a research methodology for the expression of non-linear narratives. Bodily determined time plays a very significant role in the process of her work and she uses it as a fundamental tool to determine the duration, form, and materiality of her pieces, which are in the spectrum of body installations (somatics), movement improvisation, video art, video performance, embroidery, photography, writing, visual storytelling.
The main drive in these pieces is the need to capture the momentum of thoughts or the momentum of a psychological somatic state in relation to the spaces in which they occur, and translate them into a sensorial concept of an embodied experience. In this sense, her projects are produced as documentations of self-exploration and case studies on the representation of (e)motions- of energies in motions- in time and space, from which she uses the collected data to elaborate concepts for workshops of somatic architecture and interactive embodied interkinetic experiences.
