About

Katerina Angelopoulou (b. 1982, Athens) is an artist whose lens-based practice examines the performativity of space and place, and the tensions between private and public narratives. Working through long-term research, she engages with oral histories and archives of silenced or misrepresented pasts, forming elliptical, non-linear collective narratives that form the core of her practice.

 Her artistic trajectory, rooted in a decades-long practice in scenography for theatre, dance, opera, and film, has gradually expanded to include dramaturgy and, more actively, photography. She was a finalist for the Linbury Prize for Stage Design, received a Royal Opera House bursary and award, and won The FORMAT Reviewers’ Choice Award. Her work has appeared in the British Journal of Photography, Photoworks, Blind, Phase, Aesthetica magazines and the COCA Project among others, and has been shortlisted for the Belfast Photo Festival and Dummy Award. She has collaborated and designed for Jukstapoz Dance company, Es Devlin, directors Graham Vick, Renatto Zanella, and Theo Angelopoulos, presented and exhibited her work at the National Theatre, Barbican, and Royal Festival Hall in London, the National Opera of Greece, and others internationally.

Originally trained in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Imperial College London and an Associate of the Royal Academy of Sciences, she later studied Scenography at Central Saint Martins and completed an MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography (Distinction, 2021) at London College of Communication.

Katerina is a FUTURES Photography nominee by VOID Books for 2025 and is mentored by Photo Elysée. 

 Her first monograph The Fumes of Mars was published by GOST in September 2025.
