Polixeni Papapetrou 1960–2018
Polixeni Papapetrou was immeasurably creative, remarkably indefatigable and unstintingly focused on her photographic practice. Poli skilfully melded her family life with her artistic output by casting her beloved children, Olympia and Solomon, in her photographs as a way to cherish and conjoin both spheres, while her husband, art critic Robert Nelson, painted her backdrops under strict instruction, and her seamstress mother Eftihiya sewed costumes.
