Vicky Vergou was born in Greece in 1964. In Athens she studied Fine Arts, Film Studies and Graphic Design at Vacalo School of Design.

In 2000 she moved to England and undertook an MA in Contemporary Arts and Music at Oxford Brookes University graduating in 2005.  She has been working as an installation artist using a range of media including video, sound, drawing and painting in her work. Her practice refers to the issues of mortality and immigration.

Over the past five years, after a residency in the space of an old dairy in Oxford, Vicky has been working on a time changing project inspired by Homer’s epic Odyssey. She has been also working on an ongoing project on language exploring issues around people from Europe who live in the Uk and their use of English as a second language. In March 2010 she starts an ongoing residency at the Department of Immunology in Evangelismos Hospital, Athens Greece. The project will research blood related illnesses and will include a dialogue between scientists and patients.

Vicky has a number of ongoing collaborations with other artists including Jo Thomas, Caroline Rager, Pavlos Avouris and Conrado Silva de Farrias.

She has had solo and group exhibitions in London, Berkshire and Oxfordshire, in a number of places including Ovada Gallery, Oxford Town Hall Gallery, The Vale and Download Museum as well as in Athens at EPASKT (Association of Athens School of Fine Art Graduates). She has also taken part in the London Greek Film Festival and Athens Video Art Festival.
