Cunning meridians — shock therapy by way of used needles
Weak sharpness. Tiny, stick it to the fourbony blue meridians, seemingly blocked by bloated growths. Perversely human contagion (superstitious trouble ). Dull, drawn-out, sanctimonious patrimony. O royal splendour! Needles needed needy needles.
Needles to the slender curve. Needles to all swollen hypocrisy!
Artist's Bio:
Lea Porsager (1981) lives and works in Copenhagen. She studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main. Porsager’s artistic practice is one of speculative fabulation within a variety of mediums including film, sculpture, photography and text. Her works reside in the matrixial realm of science, politics, feminism and esotericism creating “paradoxical spaces of mad non-violent speculation”. She develops her works from occult theories and spiritual practices, which she applies to question normative ways of thinking and the limits of human knowledge. In September 2015 Porsager became a PhD fellow in fine arts at the Malmö Art Academy of Lund University.
