Eleni Ioakimidis

Eleni is a Greek Australian visual artist based on Gadigal land. Her practice is instinctual and layered, transforming objects in a dream-like way, breaking constraints and making them her own. The works emerge as fragments of a story, autobiographical in tone yet ambiguous in detail, drifting between fiction and reality. Her work explores themes of memory, the domestic space, traditions and culture. She playfully uses humour and nostalgia when navigating the relationship between people and objects. Eleni blurs the lines between the familiar and the surreal; her installations often explore the tension between function and fantasy, inviting viewers to pause, look again, and imagine other ways of seeing and being.
