Georgia Sagri

KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin

My first science fiction book, religion. Together with musicians from various religious backgrounds, artist Georgia Sagri composes a new musical and movement performance, employing imitation and repetition of familiar beliefs on a path towards a unified belief system. For Sagri, the performance, in which monotheistic ceremonies become subjects of a 'meta-religion', is treated as a science fiction book, suggesting an actualization of a future notion in the present. The eight-hour piece, performed by the artist and her musical collaborators, visualizes the possibility of a non-individualistic approach to religion and defines the 'materials' of faith by detaching them from their original significance, constantly deconstructing and exposing their micro-movements and transitions. The project-website will allow visitors to view the performance online and write their comments as it unfolds. Georgia Sagri, born in 1979, lives and works between Athens and New York. At the center of her practice lies the exploration of performance as an ever-evolving field within the social and visual life, interconnected, though distinct from the dialectics of representation in theater, music and dance. Her pieces are exhibitions, where material and immaterial elements coexist to create complete worlds. Object-based and live-based components of the work coexist, and the challenge is to present the building tensions, mental and physical ones. Saturday, 4.7.15, 14-22 h.
