About the Item

mon beau miroir 2014 neon, smartphone with video camera, wood, vinyl 38" x 22" x 22" Standing on a perch inside a life-size neon birdcage is a smartphone. The front camera is on, displaying on the phone the face of the viewers as they get close. The phone becomes a reflection of our identity and transports the viewer inside the gold and bright cage. She has lived her life surrounded by unique cultures—born in Greece, raised in Paris—she now lives and works in NY. Her work investigates the definition and construction of identities, personal memories and collective histories in the digital age. Influenced by the increasing interplay between physical and virtual spaces, Kosmatopoulos decontextualize everyday-life objects, cultural symbols and behaviors and translates them into the Internet and social media world. Her work has exhibited in the United States, Canada, Europe and Latin America. Kosmatopoulos also worked alongside socially charged entities such as the Organization of American States (OAS) to create large-scale installations that raise awareness on social issues.
