Kessire Effect

Eleni Poulou, whose work similarly traverses genres and pushes the boundaries of each medium, engages in dialogue with TOUCH by Yoko Ono, on view at the Friedrichstrasse/Torstrasse intersection until August 31, 2025 as part of the n.b.k. Billboard series.


TOUCH serves as the starting point for a new performance by Poulou, premiering at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.).

 
Eleni Poulou is a musician, composer, DJ, radio host, and zine author. As a solo artist and with various bands – including The Fall, Bomb Sniffing Dogs, Organza Ray, and NOHE NOSHE – she has performed internationally. She currently collaborates with Wolfgang Seidel and James “Jeanette” Main (as ULR).


In 2022, Poulou co-founded the band Organza Ray with Hilary Jeffery; together, they initiated the ensemble E.T.U.D.E., dedicated to exploring the Fluxus works of Philip Corner and performing his new compositions alongside Theresa Patzschke and Zsolt Sores. Poulou has collaborated with artists such as Petr Step Kišur (founder of the Honey Suckle Company), with whom she performed as the duo NOHE NOSHE, and Iris Touliatou, composing sound pieces for installations at Kunsthalle Basel and Kunsthalle Bern.

She regularly hosts her own radio shows, including “Elope” on Cashmere Radio and “Kastra” on Stegi Radio, and has appeared as a guest on Montezpress Radio, Rinse France, RTM FM, Noods Radio, and NTS. Her most recent solo album, Karta (2022), fuses Pontic music from Greece with electronic club sounds of the 20th and 21st centuries. Poulou is also co-curator of this year’s edition of the KRAMA Festival in Athens.
