BIOGRAPHY

Lilia Ziamou is a Greek and American interdisciplinary artist based in New York City. Her work begins with the bone and draws on the enduring resonance of the fractured bodies of Greek sculpture, where partial figures still convey the presence of the whole. Through classical sculptural techniques, 3D modeling and imaging technologies, she reconfigures bone into body parts, wounds, flesh, and bodily surfaces. Her background and research into technological innovations form the conceptual foundation of this approach, where technology functions not only as a tool but as a catalyst for speculative transformation. Her work reflects on how data-driven technologies increasingly position the body as a site of redesign, shifting it from repair toward optimization and enhancement, and revealing a broader desire to perfect or extend the body. These technological shifts prompt new questions about what the human body is and what it may become.
