Sakshi Gera
Oscillating between the circuit of thought and action where images make and unmake themselves as the eye moves. Something in this monkey brain responds to the intervals in memory, knowledge and experience of inhabiting this body. The arbitrary interpretation of these lines form a whimsical new identity revealing the capricious nature of thought and its lineage entrenched in the past. Catch yourself to perform and ponder. Let this intimately nest and weave, align the transitory and the permanent, the real and the deceptive, the old and new. Watch it generate a variety of actualised forms, in perpetual motion, reframed, replaced and restaged

NOTA BIOGRÁFICA
Sakshi Gera (b.1992) is an artist from New Delhi and now resides in Belgium. Her work materializes in drawings and hand poke tattoos using a chant like repetition. With the help of
this repetition, her work dives into investigating the nature of thought and how its lineage is that of the past. It is bound by what was, rather than what is, therefore fragmenting the present. It responds to memory, knowledge, experience and the chronology of time.
The repetitive action is a strike against tradition and an attempt to recontextualise actions
(of walking, moving, sitting, breathing, acting, observing etc.) to invoke repetition as an anti-capitalist act. The recurring marks and gestures in her work observe a tension that originates between the suspicions of industrially produced objects and the confrontation with what is in the end, a very humane and intimate execution.Repetition here simply is an active factor that allows cultivating new faculties of perception.
