Full press release below.
What is ‘Eeusexua’? Eusexua is a state of being. A feeling of momentary transcendence often evoked by art, music, sex, and unity. Eusexua can be followed by a state of bliss and feelings of limitless possibility. Also used to refer to: ‘The pinnacle of Human Experience’. Eusexua is the moment right before an orgasm. Eusexua is melding into one being with the perfect stranger you’re making out with. Eusexua is losing track of time while losing yourself on the dance floor. Eusexua is the rush of inspiration that accompanies the birth of an idea. Eusexua can be many things to many people. It’s a nebulous concept, ever-evolving with those who experience it. But it is united through any moment in which we are fully embodying ourselves, present in the moment, disconnected from technology, synthesized with those around us. It was moments of Eusexua that birthed EUSEXUA the album, as twigs cites her late nights in the underground techno scene of Prague while shooting The Crow as the main inspiration for the project. Watch this space as twigs brings EUSEXUA to life.
Today also kicks off the official unveiling of a major new work of art by twigs at Sotheby’s, London running from today through the 26th of September. Staged over two weeks at Sotheby’s New Bond Street galleries, The Eleven, will bring twigs’ fiercely independent creative vision to the forefront of the contemporary art scene. The Eleven is a durational artwork, conceived by twigs and performed by a rotating group of eleven ‘movers.’ The piece, developed by twigs over many months, is a physical and artistic quest for self-healing, rooted – in part – in her decades spent in movement practice, somatic healing technique and by implementing conscious action on repeat. twigs herself will participate alongside a changing cast of special guests who will embody the method, and record in real time the changes they feel in their mind and body.
Despite the gap between music projects, FKA twigs has stayed as active as humanly possible. Earlier this year she appeared as the cover star for British Vogue, teasing details of her album in progress. She kicked off the summer with her appearance in Paris at VOGUE World 2024 donning Alexandre Vauthier as she walked the runway. She followed up with her appearance in the highly-anticipated gothic film, ‘The Crow’ alongside Bill Skarsgård. Later this month, FKA twigs, in support of her creative directing ON Sneakers’ latest campaign, will have an immersive experience in London on September 16th, with FKA twigs and Arthur de Borman providing the stage design to display the new pieces. The collection highlights high-performance pieces that allow for the highest level of movement, which are presented under the slogan ‘The body is art’. twigs makes her debut as a creative director and takes the reins of the campaign to capture her passion for dance and focus on the power of self-expression.
