Sarjon Azouz will be performing at In Het Klad on This Art Fair.

Sarjon is a multidisciplinary artist, working with vanity as a research space
in identity politics. Across durational mediums of writing, installation,
performance scores, and Audio-visual works. Sarjon’s practice revolves
around finding ways to conduct spaces of dialogue with their many alter
egos. voices, words and props are made and tested for the research
purposes where most of their work is realized with an accelerationist
approach, provisional compositions of various space and media
interventions, many of which employ the -I- fictional characters and alter
egos during the research process.

Their name is Sarjon, Sargon, Shivers, Ra’sh, BIMBO ZYGOTE, Gore Dealer
Baby, Asmahan, and NOT Laila! They are all the names debating the reasons, the ways, and the consequences of their existing body. In a post-
narrative they exist, found while researching vanity, while covering their face with their face, monitored their character growth with their own
somatic archive, they are the altered eyes, the lenses through which they
see themselves from the already existing narrations of the world. Through
this practice they learn that engaging in identity politics means the labor of
which they contribute to claiming back the narrative and unlearning the
constructs that try to define them. Altering the ego is not a luxury, it’s a
survival necessity. Where do I exist, is this question existential or political?
This recurring question in their research focuses on the “where” as in
context. Where do these {I}’s gain agency, urgency, and control. As they
finally speak, It does not matter what they actually say, their practice
focuses on the props, spaces, and tools they need to gain their voice.
