Dimitra Dede
Dimitra Dede is Greek visual artist based in London working mainly with photography. She studied photography and holds a postgraduate diploma in New Media.
Her practice combines painting and the use of chemicals with photography. The making of the imagery is based on an intuitive process. Her subject matter quests the connection between space and time, memory and displacement, loss and human vulnerability, life and the Absurd. Her work has been presented in galleries, museums and festivals in Europe, USA and Asia.
Her book ‘Mayflies’ was nominated for the Author Book Award at The Rencontres d’Arles Book Awards 2020 and for the Unseen Dummy Award 2018 at the Unseen Festival, Amsterdam. Her book ‘Apeiron' was nominated for the Author Book Award at the Rencontres d’Arles Book Awards 2022 and for the Deutsche Börse Foundation Photography Prize 2023.
MAYFLIES
After the loss of her mother Dimitra Dede experiences the interruption of her own timeline on one end while having to fulfil her own role as a mother to the other end. In that end, motherhood in Dede’s universe is not connected only to warmth or joy but to cold, ice surfaces that need to stand the pressure of an overheated world. ‘Mayflies’ dramatises the creative process of mourning. Through multiple chirographic mutations of the imagery, the experience of loss in intertwined layers is represented throughout the work.
The scientific name of Mayflies is Ephemeroptera and it is derived from the Greek “ephemera” meaning short-lived, and “ptera” meaning wings. This is a reference to the short lifespan of adult mayflies. Most adults are delicate insects with a very short lifespan. They emerge, reproduce, and die in a single day.
ÁPEIRON
Presentation by the publisher:
” Before realizing Dede’s geographical origin, her images had spoken to us, suggesting the title and conceptual apparatus they needed. We have seen the fulfillment of Anaximander’s Ápeiron, of the indefinite infinity of a pre-mythical time, where everything is primordial matter and fluidity. A true expression of the origins. “
METAPHORS
In between a zine and a book, ‘Metaphors’ (after Sylvia Plath) is the latest publication of Dimitra Dede.
‘Metaphors’ comes in 5 different cover title versions — That are assigned randomly in each order.
