Christodoulos Panayiotou

Panayiotou was born in 1978 in Limassol, Cyprus.{{cite web | title=Christodoulos Panayiotou | website=Mennour | date=7 December 2023 | url=https://mennour.com/artists/christodoulos-panayiotou | access-date=16 March 2024}}

Wonder Land (2008), Never Land (2008) and I Land (2010) form a trilogy of 35mm slide projections that are the product of extensive archival research into the past of the artist’s home country, Cyprus.{{Cite web |last=Da Silva |first=José |title=ARTLINES: 'Panayiotou's I Land' |url=https://collection.qagoma.qld.gov.au/stories/1789/ |access-date=2023-05-08 |website=collection.qagoma.qld.gov.au}}

Wonder Land comprises eighty photographs from the Limassol carnival taken between 1975 and 2008 and stored in the city’s municipal archives. Through this selection of images, often depicting locals dressed up as Disney characters, the artist explores how the long-established purist narrative of tradition typically used to describe the annual celebration is being increasingly affected by processes of Westernisation and Americanisation.Panayiotou, C. (2013). And [Exhibition catalogue]. Exhibited at Casino Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Luxembourg October 10, 2013 –January 5, 2014{{Cite book |last1=Birnbaum |first1=Daniel |title=Defining Contemporary Art: 25 Years in 200 Pivotal Artworks |last2=Butler |first2=Connie |last3=Cotter |first3=Suzanne |last4=Curiger |first4=Bice |last5=Enwezor |first5=Okwui |last6=Gioni |first6=Massimiliano |last7=Nickas |first7=Bob |last8=Ulrich Obrist |first8=Hans |publisher=Phaidon Press |year=2011 |isbn=978-0714862095 |edition=1st |pages=436–437}} Commenting on Wonder Land, Panayiotou has stated:

“The Limassol carnival parade is a revelation of everything we would like to be, of everything we know we cannot be, and of everything we cannot afford to accept that we are.” {{Cite web |last=Moisdon |first=Stéphanie |title=Christodoulos Panayiotou {{!}} Artist Presented by Stéphanie Moisdon |url=http://www.rencontres-arles.com//en/expositions/view/117/christodoulos-panayiotou |access-date=2023-05-08 |website=rencontres-arles.com}}

In I Land, the final instalment of the trilogy, Panayiotou examines the representation of the first president of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios III, through photographs taken by the Press and Information Office (PIO) in Nicosia during his seventeen-year presidency. The PIO is a government department that deals with the distribution of official information to the media and the public.{{Cite web |title=Mission & Structure |url=https://www.pio.gov.cy/en/mission/ |access-date=2023-05-08 |website=pio.gov.cy}} Among official photographs of the president kept in the archive, Panayiotou came across seemingly trivial snapshots taken by PIO photographers in the course of their duties. By juxtaposing these images, he uncovers a parallel storyline, told through the eyes of PIO photographers, which both accompanies and challenges the official narrative.

In his 2012 exhibition Tenuto at Rodeo, Istanbul,{{Cite web |title=Christodoulos Panayiotou {{!}} Tenuto |url=https://rodeo-gallery.com/exhibitions/tenuto/ |access-date=2023-05-08 |website=rodeo-gallery.com}} Panayiotou introduced a series of gold-gilded monochrome paintings. The works were produced by infiltrating a pre-existing commercial circuit of production of religious icons, commissioning an iconographer to deploy the customary Byzantine techniques.Panayiotou, C. (2015). Two Days After Forever [Exhibition catalogue]. Exhibited at the 56th Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy May 9 – November 22, 2015 Bringing forward the golden background as the sole element in the painting, the artist abstracted any form of representation associated with Orthodox iconography. As such, the works take as their point of departure the commodification and commercialisation of Byzantine iconography and plays into iconoclastic historical impulses—a recurring war on icons.

Since the exhibition, gold-gilded monochrome paintings have become central to Panayiotou’s practice in numerous variations. These variants involve processes of abstractification, as well as the reintroduction of formalistic elements (such as the foreground) and geometric shapes (such as the outline of the halo). From 2019 onwards, the series has expanded to include traditional silversmithing and gilding techniques used in the creation of revetments—metal covers that conceal and protect religious icons.Panayiotou, C. (2021). St. Elmo's Fire [Exhibition catalogue]. Exhibited at RODEO Piraeus, Athens, Greece May 5 – June 30, 2021{{Cite web |title=St. Elmo's Fire |url=https://rodeo-gallery.com/exhibitions/st-elmos-fire/ |access-date=2023-05-08 |website=rodeo-gallery.com}}

In the Cyprus Pavilion of the 56th Venice Biennale, Panayiotou showed three mosaic works composed of ancient tesserae. These small fragments were kept in the Archaeological Museum in Nicosia, and, with the collaboration of the Cypriot Department of Antiquities, Panayiotou borrowed them as material for the composition of his wall mosaics. Following the Biennale, the mosaics were taken back to the museum, where the conservation department dismantled them, reverting them to their original state of unidentified tesserae.

Mauvaise Herbes is a series of mosaic works which are the outcome of the artist’s long-standing engagement with the archaeological site of Kourion in Cyprus, which houses the remains of an ancient city-state renowned for its mosaics.Panayiotou, C. (2019). Act II: The Island [Exhibition catalogue]. Exhibited at Camden Arts Centre, London, England September 27, 2019 – January 5, 2020 In common archaeological practice, some findings are re-buried after they have been excavated and documented for preservation purposes. For this work, Panayiotou documented the mauvaises herbes, or weeds, that grow on the surface of these in-filled archaeological digs, and rendered them on a 1:1 scale as a contemporary mosaic, adopting the same tessellation techniques used to create the antiquities buried beneath them.

In this series of paintings, the artist replaces common paper pulp with pulp made from shredded demonetised banknotes – discarded Euro banknotes, misprinted US dollar bills and obsolete Deutschmark notes.{{Cite web |date=2020-10-09 |title=Pulp Paintings {{!}} Christodoulos Panayiotou |url=https://nimac.org.cy/pulp-paintings-christodoulos-panayiotou/ |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=nimac.cy}} The pulp from the different denominations has been composed and combined into sheets of paper, as separate colour fields or mixtures, using the technique of pulp painting. The notes retain nothing of their original form other than their pigments.{{Cite book |last1=Panayiotou |first1=Christodoulos |title=Pulp Paintings |last2=Capeille |first2=Jean |publisher=kamel mennour |year=2018 |isbn=978-2-914171-65-6 |language=en, fr}} By restoring value to devalued matter, the series forms part of Panayiotou’s greater investigations into the notion of value exchange.{{Cite web |title=Christodoulos Panayiotou & Philip Wiegard {{!}} Nine to Five {{!}} Kunstverein Nürnberg |url=https://artmap.com/kunstvereinnuernberg/exhibition/christodoulos-panayiotou-philip-wiegard-2016 |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=artmap.com}}

The Price of Copper is a series of improvised fountains consisting of a raw sheet of copper sourced from the Skouriotissa copper mines in Xeros, Cyprus. The title of the work is borrowed from Bertolt Brecht’s parable, ‘Der Messingkauf’ (‘Buying Brass’), which tells the story of a client who wishes to buy a trumpet, but is only interested in the metal from which is it made. From this parable, Panayiotou extracted a protocol for a sculpture that addresses the distinction between material value and the added value of goods. The object becomes a fountain, and therefore a sculpture, only when the water is running. As soon as the water stops, the piece turns back into a mere sheet of copper.

Folded theatrical backdrops have been an ongoing subject in Panayiotou’s practice since 2007. The act of concealing an image that was made to be displayed on stage involves an abandonment of narrative, evoking feelings of disenchantment and disillusionment towards theatrical traditions.

Some of the backdrops, such as Act I: The Departure, Act II: The Island, Act III: The Glorious Return and Soliloquy: The Sea, involve pre-existing works that were appropriated and renamed to allow for new narrative potentials to arise. Others, such as Nowhere, The Parting Discourse and The End, were produced by the artist, and presented as the sole element in a staged performance. At the Venice Biennale in 2015, for example, The Parting Discourse, a backdrop depicting a horizon, was used in a performance of the same name, intended as an inauguration ceremony for the Cyprus Pavilion. It appeared on stage, slowly descending and collapsing onto itself before being folded and carried to be displayed, like the others, as a concealed image.

For his 2019 solo exhibition, LUX S.1003 334, at the Musée d’Orsay,{{Cite web |title=LUX S. 1003 334. Orsay seen by Christodoulos Panayiotou |url=https://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/whats-on/exhibitions/lux-s-1003-334-orsay-seen-christodoulos-panayiotou |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=musee-orsay.fr}} Panayiotou produced a series of three works, each titled Painting, for which he worked closely with the restoration department of the museum. For these works, pieces of cotton wool used during the restoration and cleaning of the surfaces of the canvases in the collection of the Musée d’Orsay were collected, and the varnish, layers of paint, grime and other undesirable matter were extracted.Panayiotou, C. (2019). LUX S. 1003 334 [Exhibition catalogue]. Exhibited at Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France October 19, 2019 – January 19, 2020 The extracted material was then used as paint to cover new canvases exhibited alongside the other works in the show.{{cn|date=March 2024}}

Dying on Stage is an ongoing and ever-growing lecture-performance by Panayiotou that explores the hierarchical order of literal, metaphorical and symbolic deaths on stage, with reflections on the concept of tragic irony being the point of departure.{{Cite web |title=Park Nights 2015: Christodoulos Panayiotou, Dying on Stage |url=https://www.serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/park-nights-2015-christodoulos-panayiotou-dying-stage/ |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=serpentinegalleries.org}} The radical paradigm of death serves here as a narrative to investigate the complex relationship between the actor, the character and the spectator.{{Cite web |title=Dying on Stage |url=https://www.naughtongallery.org/Events/2017/DyingOnStage/ |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=naughtongallery.org}}

Initially, The Island Club was hosted on the ground floor of the artist’s studio, located in Agora Anexartisias — a shopping arcade built in 1991 in the commercial centre of Limassol. In March 2021, The Island Club moved to a new space inside the arcade in close proximity to the studio.

Panayiotou has written several texts, primarily in the form of letters that follow the tradition of epistolary essays.
