Dimitra Polychronis is a Canadian artist who works and lives in Calgary, AB. She is an interdisciplinary artist whose work responds to the subjective realities of time and place by proposing re-examinations of realities and counter-reality tangibilities. She is a recent graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design (2005) and currently exhibits her work in both self-initiated and institutional venues, in the form of photography, installation, painting, and video.
Polychronis’ most recent works primarily explore how popular methods of film and photography offer glimpses of reality as idealized documentation, while attempting to demonstrating how the product can never perfectly achieve all the elements that comprise past encounters. Using personal or found photography taken out of its original context, she alters the intended viewing experience, forcing viewer to undergo experience based on subjective intentions.
