aliki christoforou (1992) is a greek and belgian multidisciplinary artist based in brussels. her practice unfolds across lens-based media, installation and writing, each medium enriching the others. conceived as a long-term research process, her work moves along the porous borders between reality and fiction, history and myth. She is drawn to stories that tell other stories — narratives that repopulate our imaginaries and question our reality. her attention gravitates toward marginal voices, discreet gestures, subtle traces — everything that speaks without making noise.

guided by a desire to uncover what lies submerged, her work explores individual and collective memory, weaving connections between past, present, and possible futures. it situates itself within an expanded ecological framework that dissolves boundaries between the human and the non-human, revealing social and environmental realities as intricate, interdependent constellations.

after working as an architect and scenographer, aliki christoforou earned a ma in photography from ensav la cambre (2022) during which she was awarded a creation grant by the king baudouin foundation, and an ma in «art practice – critical tools» from erg (2025) in brussels. her work has since been exhibited in belgium (beursschouwburg, bps22, hangar art center, ateliers mommen, jacques frank, centrale for contemporary art, that’s what x said, contretype, eric mouchet, plagiarama), france (centre wwallonie bruxelles, le 104, promenades photographiques), and freece (anafi international film festival). she was the recipient the libraryman award in 2021, which allowed her to publish her first book, anamnesis, as well as the ronan guillou grant in 2023. she currently works in brussels in her studio at level5, an artist cooperative run for and by artists.
