Christina Phoebe Read Bio Collapse
Christina Phoebe is a multimedia artist, filmmaker, and writer based in Athens, Greece. In her dreamlike work in digital and analogue moving image, playful gestures and site-specific performances become portals to collective memory seen through a diasporic lens. Her first feature film Amygdaliá (2019) navigates constructs surrounding the foreigner in contemporary Greece. With screenings in festivals, community spaces, and university settings, the film has won numerous awards and is discussed in the final chapter of Toby Lee’s book The Public Life of Cinema (2020). Her recent writing includes the piece “Before, After, During, Towards the Temenos,” a reflection of her experiences with Gregory Markopoulos’ 80-hour film Eniaios, published online by Photogenie. She is currently working on her second feature film, an experimental road movie reflecting on the architecture of memory through intergenerational gatherings and dialogues centered in Arcadia, Greece.
