Biography
Lizzi Bougatsos works in sculpture, collage, installation, writing, and performance. She appropriates cultural and commercial detritus such as posters and advertising and re-purposes them with painted or collaged elements to expose the narratives that are woven into the visual fabric of the city and popular media. Her practice is deeply responsive to the politics of media representation, and does not shy away from controversial issues such of climate change and human rights. Bougastsos frequently employs comedy and humor as a means to disarm and to comment on the moment in which we live. Her sculptures in ice are regarded as performances; they exist only for a short period of time, and as such, they are an escape from the ever prevalent realities of everyday life. Bougastsos is also the singer for the band Gang Gang Dance and the drummer for her girl-band I.U.D.
