Our Jury

Alexandra Stefanakis is a multidisciplinary writer and photographer by trade. Since the 83’s, she celebrates, with realism, the allure of femininity with an artistic approach borrowed from the codes of music and cinema in a well being approach. In this dynamic, the staged compositions are contrasting and resonate with avant-garde new pop art. Greatly influenced by the work of Le Corbusier and Kandinsky. In her artistic work, she uses a variety of media. She designed the Belive connectée fresco with a view to getting the public to interact with the work via mobile phones. The aim is to tell the story of a historical facet of jazz through a mural that will enhance the urban space in an artistic and educational way. The scenography will have the impact of a giant jigsaw puzzle. This digital street art, called Smartartwall, will cover the façades of an evolving architecture and will incorporate films.
In 1996, when she designed the freque, which will finally be presented in 2019 for the Fête de la Musique in Paris, she used old-fashioned processes with a vocabulary that married a modern look to a collection: the colours of jazz, which are gum bichromate images. Her latest installation will incorporate ecological AI, bringing to life the story of a piece of music within a drum set that broadcasts films and photographs, to create an Introspection…

Alexandra has contributed to photographic works on luxury and sport, and works as Artistic Director for prestigious events. She has lived in Paris since 1987, and has been invited to present her thematic collections, which she shares on an exhibition basis. Her photographs have been exhibited many times in prestigious galleries and institutions, including the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York. Today, between artistic design and exhibitions, she produces experimental film capsules with a poetic approach. She founded the Anastasi’Art association in 2018 with the aim of dedicating multi-format art installations to the environment and as a solution to marine protection. The films made for Anastasi’Art are a poetic reflection to bring our senses into dialogue on the mise en abime of a real concern that makes sense of ecological issues. She is continuing her work in new visual universes that exploit digital technology, while waiting to make her next film.
