About Alexis Andreou

Alexis Andreou  (born Limassol 1995) is a documentary photographer, curator, and visual artist who studied MA Photojournalism and Documentary Photography and BA (Hons) Photography in the London College of Communication, University of the Arts London. He experiments with a wide range of photographic genres, both in analogue and digital photography and his work mainly focuses on the visual documentation and investigation of sociopolitical affairs and their impact on contemporary society through the changing landscape. 

Andreou’s current work is focusing on conducting a visual investigation on the aftermath of the Cypriot conflict events between 1964 and 1974, exploring how memory is recollected when oppressed by trauma in a bordered landscape alongside the impact that a four decade long cultural segregation has had upon displaced families and the identity of the island.

His previous work and experience has focused on experimenting with darkroom techniques and experimental photography alongside architectural photography and documentary work. Andreou’s current practise started after conducting theoretical research in war as archival image and its semiotic translation, and how documented imagery registers experienced violence and hardship in 2014.

Andreou’s practise has expanded in the curatorial sector in the last few years, having curated exhibitions at the London College of Communication and at the FUJIFILM House of Photography in 2023.
