Synopsis

Greek artist and activist Georgia Sagri chronicles the body's recovery from the incarnated pressure imposed by neoliberalism.

Bodies and senses are the public, creative processes of political action. Sagri writes case studies, political communiques and analysis to break down the dichotomy between what can be considered life and what can be considered resistance.

'The condition of control is already there, by how we have been educated on property, on the difference between public and private. The moment of the occupation and protest occurs when you are there. When you stay a little bit longer and someone comes with a flashlight telling you to leave, there's the realisation that for the guard the occupation is a symbolic act. But what makes the occupation happen is not the guard, but how people disregard, how they forget the regulations and then don't obey the regulations anymore. There can be actions that are not reactions to regulations.' - Georgia Sagri
