Elias Klark's artworks reflect themes of established colonies, national diasporas and militarised states. Oscillating between a self-existent agency and the paradox of its failure, his research traverses the complex geopolitical issues of his birthplace and the experience of his compulsory service in the Cypriot National Guard.
His performances are sensed through transformation and liminal spaces, notions associated with the transcendence of imaginary buffer zones that help us visualize different types of revolution.
Through his practice, he promotes tools to enhance relationships and form liberated bodies, disposing of a creative world for collective coexistence with one another.
Elias is a dancer and performance artist who oscillates between the Netherlands and Cyprus. He will graduate from the SNDO and ECD programmes at the Academy of Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam in 2026.
