FYTA (Greek: ΦΥΤΑ) is 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] In 2013, they participated at the 4th Athens Biennale, AGORA.[6]

In 2020, they were commissioned by the Greek National Opera to direct a version of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, but the premiere did not happen because of lockdown measures for the COVID-19 epidemic.[7]
