- In-between loops
- Permeable boundaries

Katerina Moschou, b.1991 in Athens, Greece. Lives and works in Athens.
Katerina Moschou moves multidimensionally between sculpture and photography, with printmaking and painting constituting the stable components of her creative process. Her methodology is rooted in the observation of both human-made and natural environments, capturing the intricate web of relationships that unfolds within them.
Her primary focus is on the theme of exclusion—a condition she studies as the negative space systematically sculpted by society. This is the space where everything society pushes to the sidelines ultimately defines its character. Katerina, forges a new connection with the marginal, accentuating its vitality and highlighting the unique functioning of living and non-living entities within. Through her work, she brings to light everyday narratives that often linger in obscurity.
She received a support grant from Polycopies &Co (Paris 2022) for her firstl photobook, "How to drive," a collaborative endeavor with ZOETROPE ATHENS. This project was honored with the ArtsLibris Banc Sabadell Award 2023 (Barcelona 2023) and attained a place on the shortlist for the PhotoESPANA Best Photography Book Award (Madrid 2023).
