Elena Efeoglou

Elena Efeoglou (born 1978 in the Greek city of Drama, now lives in Thessaloniki) holds a Master's degree in Photography as well as in Philosophical, Pedagogical and Interdisciplinary Anthropology. In her doctoral thesis she dealt with the qualitative analysis of photographic representations during the Greek Civil War of 1946-1949. In her own artistic work she mainly uses the media of photography and video and she is particularly interested in the role of photography in private and public archives. Her interest lies in the materiality of photography and its role both as a document and in true and fictional narratives. Efeoglou is currently working with found photographs and artificial intelligence.

The Photographic Collection /SK Stiftung Kultur, based in Cologne’s Mediapark since 1996, is devoted to objective documentary photography in the artistic context. With the August Sander Archive and comprehensive bundles comprising works by Bernd and Hilla Becher, two internationally renowned positions are represented in the collection which have decisively shaped this movement both aesthetically and formally. Based on these inventories, Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur realizes alternating exhibition projects and publications of both historical and contemporary provenance.
