Georgia Sagri’s Deep Cut adds a hyper-realistic open wound to a building. The cut facade bleeds in silent, outside of our reach, and implies an embodiment of the architecture. The work invites its viewers to contemplate on the nature of healing and self care as well as raising the question of whose wound we are looking at. Is it the building that's hurt or the artist or even ourselves? Is it self-inflicted or the result of a conflict? Will the wound leave a scar? Deep Cut aestheticizes the process of the infliction and subsequent healing of a wound, a process of profound meaning, because it marks the rupture of life and the hope for its return to a stable state. It is the wound of a divided society, a break in the tissue that holds us together, and its socio-political aspects surpass everyday facts and exposes us to uncertainty. Being confronted with the bleeding cut invokes feelings of receiving an injury, even though neither its dimensions nor its place are within the realm of reality. Certainly the scale of the work justifies our shared feelings of empathy.
