Erato Tzavara

Erato Tzavara is a video artist specialized in moving image techniques for live performance and digital scenography. Through collaborations in dance, theater, and music improvisation she works with the plasticity of the digital image in physical space and mixes analog aesthetic and digital compositing tools to create moving collages from different sources of video (live feed, pre-recorded, archival, graphics). In her personal work she draws on photography, video essays, and writing to capture the experience of the contemporary urban subject. She has presented work in theaters, off-scene artistic spaces, music venues, and festivals in Germany, UK, Canada, India, Greece, and France.
