Kyriakos Apostolidis (b. Drama, Greece 1991) is a Chicago-based performance artist and movement director. Working with the human body as his primal artistic material and self-referential subject, Apostolidis’s practice-based artistic research project, named Morphoplastics, aims to examine the phenomenological issue of presence in performance art, focusing on the concept of plasticity as it applies to the body-mind connection and space-time experience. Morphoplastics makes use of the kinesthetic psycho-physical awareness of the performer to explore the innate expressive potential of the human body as the source material of artistic representation. This improvisational movement practice attempts to articulate a sensorial-based communication between performer and audience through kinesthetic empathy and to bring the tradition of figurative art to performance. Exploring the states of being present, Apostolidis’s live performances involve video projections and biosensors to expand the physical materiality of his body towards the creation of an intersubjective experience.
