Djordi Komrij

Djordi Komrij (1999) is a queer multidisciplinary artist whose work mainly revolves around encapsulating traces that people leave behind. How do we perceive the space around us and the people in it? How does body store and recollect memories?

The transformative nature of elements such as the warping of air around a flame serves as a source of inspiration for his approach to making. Creating landscapes with sculptures, photos and paintings, Djordi attempts to reconsider in which ways our presence lingers when we’re no longer here. Ultimately pursuing a broader comprehension about the very nature of being.

Documentation for the residency of Monster Archief at the Stefanuskerk, Groningen.

‘Rituals. (Written) acts often tied to religion and spirituality, but also the everyday. A repeating of behavior meant to give rise to a grounded feeling. A conscious act that could serve as an anchor to get closer to something or someone.’

You laid your feet bare
Your palms up to the sun
I want to kiss them
To thank you for walking upon this earth with me

For your presence filld the void
This gaping hole
That seems to close with every step you take
