Karla Isidorou is a visual artist creating performative constellations in which different disciplines merge together to create an open meeting space between performer and public, letting the work immerse into public space. Magnetised by the engraved rituals of the body, the versatile structures of our bones and muscles, Karla Isidorou, was trained as a performer, a theatermaker and a visual artist. Karla Isidorou followed Theater Studies at the University of Amsterdam, focusing on the shared experience of catharsis between performer and audience. She continued her studies in a more practical field: exploring the possibilities of performative photography (UCK, Utrecht), focussing on the scenographic dimensions of the moving body(ArtEZ, Arnhem) and continued

her research on the limits of the body, its sculpturality as well as its relational aesthetics at the Base for Experiment Art and Research (ArtEZ, Arnhem). Karla Isidorou is co-founder of K&A an, artistic duo formed with Alexandra Bellon, reaching across the borders of disciplines and signatures. Their work can be found on www.k-and-a.co As a photographer Karla Isidorou collaborates with various artists, reaching out to the core of their concept, distilling it into a captured image. ]Compressing the tempo-spatial reality, enchanted by the virgules of the bodies, tempted by the unknown magnet of the blink, Karla Isidorou photographs to reach behind the borders of vulnerability, to expose/propose an open door.
