Outrageous Intimacy

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 K¢lbæk Iversen. The book has been made possible by Porsager's two-year Mads ¥vlisen 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.
