Georgia Sagri

Georgia Sagri explores performance as a field where the boundaries between art and life, subjectivity and politics are constantly tested. Her work questions autonomy, invisible labor, emotional endurance and the body’s capacity to transform itself. Between performance, sculpture, video and drawing, she sees each medium as an extension of the same process of embodiment and reflection. The body appears as a vulnerable and resistant terrain, traversed by memory.

Drawing occupies a central place in her practice: for her, it is a space for preparation, bodily thought and emotional release. It traces the movements of the experience and prolongs the temporality of the performance, preserving its momentum while absorbing the traces of embodiment.

Georgia Sagri’s work has been shown in numerous major exhibitions – documenta 14, Manifesta 11, Gothenburg Biennale (2025), Whitney Biennial, Istanbul and Lyon Biennales – as well as in international institutions such as MoMA, Palais de Tokyo, KW, Gropius Bau, Kunsthalle Basel, Castello di Rivoli and SculptureCenter. An associate professor at the Athens School of Fine Arts, she is also the founder ofΥΛΗ[matter]HYLE, an independent space dedicated to care practices and social empathy.
