Thomas Egoumenides (b.1986) is a visual artist and designer based in Tunis. His work focuses on the intersection of sculpture and social design, with a thoughtful approach to rethinking and poeticizing mundane and discarded materials.

His creative vision involves reimagining the urban environment as a vast repository of materials and narratives, akin to a ‘matériotheque’. By skillfully weaving and reshaping these diverse material layers, he redefines our man-made world.

During a residency for the Tunis Dream City Art Festival in 2021, he initiated the project Rascal, an ephemeral design and upcycling research laboratory. His remarkable work caught the attention of the Sharjah Architecture Triennial in 2023, where he displayed his installation “The Ship Of Theseus”.

In 2024, he presents in Tunis his first solo exhibition with Yosr Ben Ammar Gallery, titled Meta Morphée. His approach to design has earned him a nomination for the Institut du Monde Arabe’s Design Prize 24.

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