TOM EGOUMENIDES

Born in 1986, visual artist and designer based in Tunis.

His work sits at the intersection of sculpture and social design, with a sensitive approach aimed at rethinking and poetizing ordinary and discarded materials.

His artistic approach consists of reimagining the urban environment as a vast reservoir of materials and stories, a sort of "material library." By weaving and subtly reshaping these heterogeneous material layers, he redefines our human-shaped world.

In 2021, during a residency for the Dream City Festival in Tunis, he launched the project Rascal, an ephemeral design and research lab focused on upcycling. His acclaimed work drew the attention of the Sharjah Architecture Triennale in 2023, where he presented his installation The Ship of Theseus.

In 2024, he opened his first solo exhibition in Tunis at Yosr Ben Ammar Gallery, entitled Meta Morphée. His unique approach to design earned him a nomination for the Arab World Institute Design Prize the same year.

He has also recently completed a three-month residency at the Misk Art Institute in Riyadh, where he deepened his research on materiality and obsolescence.
