His work articulates a relationship between sound composition and formal representation, with a focus on time and its possible transformation in monumental terms.

Notable exhibitions and works


Temps perdu, 2013, presented at xavierlaboulbenne in Berlin and Villa Sarasin in Geneva, compresses into 120 minutes the recorded reading of Marcel Proust’s complete In Search of Lost Time.

The Trilogy of Terror (2014-16) reinterprets events drawn from mythology as a vector of modernity and explores our origins through the primordial energy of myth.

Scoufaras was a resident of the Akademie Schloss Solitude in 2014-15. His exhibitions have been reviewed in Artforum, Code, and Artreview. His most recent exhibitions include Myth, Music and Electricity at the Herkulesaal, Munich (2017), and Omphalos at xavierlaboulbenne, Berlin (2018).
