FYTA (Greek: ΦΥΤΑ, meaning plants) are an Athens-based conceptual art and performance art duo. Their work problematises Greek identity and nationalism.[1] FYTA's work combines different media and disciplines mostly operating within the wider framework of overidentification,[2] queer politics and anti-humanist art,[3] while they aim at a performative destabilisation of concepts of truth [4] and nature / the natural.[5]

"Fyta are far from a fringe group in the Greek art world"[6] and curate regular shows working with the Athens queer community as well as producing artefacts of their own. In an article about Greek queer politics and aesthetics, the Journal of Greek Media and Culture described the work of FYTA as “highly iconoclastic” [7] and “new directors who seem to follow their own path”.[8] Dazed has named their curatorial work as “avant-garde”,[9] while they are also seen as having “an important characteristic often missing by many fine artists: irony and a sense of humour”.[10]
