Antigone Kourakou (b. 1979) is a photographer and art conservator based in Athens, Greece. She began developing her interest in photography in 2010. Since then, she has consistently utilized this medium to explore and express an aesthetic sensibility. Her photographic work has been exhibited and published internationally. In 2022, her first monograph, Transfiguration, was published.
Kourakou's work derives from the need to construct her own narrative. It serves as a form of personal record-keeping, a kind of diary aiming to preserve the memory of her experiences, thoughts and feelings. Better still, it's about the desire to map one's course in the hope that, perhaps in this way, it will not be forgotten.
