Lea Porsager (1981, Denmark)
In her talk, Lea Porsager gropingly handles all of her works that in turn have gropingly handled aspects of the Armenian mystic G. I. Gurdjieff’s brainy legacy. Porsager refers to these works as the G.I.G. Slime Series. Gurdjieff believed that most humans live their lives in a state of hypnotic “waking sleep” and created a collection of rituals, movements and activities for self-awakening, known as “The Work.” Porsager has used and referenced Gurdjieff’s theories and methods in several works including LEAP – Awakening of the Dark Muses (2008), Mesmerized Machines (2010) and The Anatta Experiment (2012).
