is a multidisciplinary artist focusing mostly on photography/imaging, video and digital spaces. I’m drawn to the intersections of reality, fiction and simulation – the liminal spaces where they overlap, blur and reshape eachother – and how memory entagles all of them together.
↪ The Sims Saga is a series of still image and video works following the life of Adonis (Sim), a version of myself created in the popular social simulation game, The Sims 4 (Maxis, 2014-ongoing). The series follows his life and struggles with being both virtual and an artist, juxtaposing the artist’s career trajectory with the monomyth, Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey. It currently comprises two residency documentations told through posts on Instagram, three durational performance documentation videos, two exhibitions (one virtual and one interreal) and their accompanying artworks, as well as two films – one of which is premiering at the end of October 2025, as part of a screening for the Limassol stopover of the Art Explora Festival.
- Adonis and the Labour of Artistic Production, 2018
The first entry in the Saga, where Adonis (Sim) gets accepted into the first Residency program that he himself initiated, and ponders the processes and meaning of artistic production.

- Ya gotta wob'ere! Ya gotta wob'ere! (Don't give up! Keep trying!), 2019
- Sulsul! Plerg Majah Bliff? (Hello! Can I do something else please?), 2018
- VRAL Ep.85, The Death Trilogy, Online
A series of three videos, dubbed The Death Trilogy, taking the form of durational performance documentations. Adonis (Sim) takes advantage of his infinite virtual nature to enact popular methods of disposing of one’s Sim, and then coming back to life to do it all over again. The films are shot in one take, and play on loop as video installations. In 2024, The Death Trilogy kicked off Season 05 of VRAL, the online screening and interview platform run by Matteo Bittanti of Milan Machinima Festival.
- Adonis and the Quantum Self, 2019
- TestDrive, Emotional Sculptures, Nicosia, Cyprus
- Curatedbylolita.com, Adonis and Adonis and Adonis and Adonis and Adonis and Adonis and Adonis and Wade and the Effort of Consciousness, Online
The second residency that Adonis (Sim) took part in, where, after accidentally quantum meditating on both the Multiverse Hypothesis and emotional manifestation, he brings forth a number of versions of himself who help produce work for his upcoming exhibition. This collaborative effort culminated in an interreal exhibition: one held physically at TestDrive in Nicosia, Cyprus, and the other within a copy of TestDrive in The Sims 4. The works themselves—a series of clay sculptures whose forms shift in response to each Sim’s mood—were experienced both as augmented reality pieces accessed via QR codes and as objects in the digital space. The project later gave rise to a fictional interview curated by Wade Wallerstein, in which the multiple Adonises reflect on identity, agency, and artistic practice across the digital, physical, and augmented realities they now occupy together. - Adonis and the Lockdown Tactics, 2020
A short film produced during the first COVID lockdown, where Adonis (Sim) is stuck in a loop, repeating quotes from Groundhog Day (Harold Ramis, 1993).
↪ Videogame photography is a large part of my practice.
