SHORT BIO
Konstantinos Papacharalampos (Greece, 1988) works in poetry, performance art, spatial analysis, and digital art, based in London. In his works, body and language are related to space and technological developments, aiming to explore the future. He is particularly interested in exploring existing or imaginative ways where technological developments, the environment, and human rights create or restrict a balance of co-existence. This exploration is a continuous work in progress, and he refers to it as ‘neo-futurism’. He has released four poetry books in Greek and one in English, Exchange: a neo-futurist idiom mapping (Hesterglock Press, 2020).
