Outrageous Intimacy delves into the artistic practice of Lea Porsager, documenting her work with a particular focus on her earthworks, texts, and use of readymades.
Far from explanatory, the book takes form as glossolalic outbursts, in which particles, bodies, and terrains alike turn into erogenous zones and sites of sensitization. It also contains traces of correspondences and conversations, as well as texts by Lars Bang Larsen, Nanna Friis, Sarat Maharaj, and Anne Kølbæk Iversen. The book has been made possible by Porsager's two-year Mads Øvlisen NOVO postdoctoral project Outrageous Intimacy [Spooky Touch at a Distance], hosted by The Royal Danish Art Academy, Copenhagen (2023–25), in collaboration with Arts at CERN.
Born 1981 in Frederikssund (Denmark), Lea Porsager lives and works in Copenhagen. Her practice interweaves fabulation and speculation with a variety of mediums, including film, sculpture, photography, and text. Her works encompass science, politics, feminism, and esotericism.
