FKA twigs announces her third studio album, EUSEXUA

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.

Staged over two weeks at Sotheby’s New Bond Street galleries, The Eleven, taking place until 26 September, is a durational artwork, conceived by twigs and performed by a rotating group of eleven ‘movers.’ This is a step into uncharted territory for Sotheby’s, which has never presented an artwork of live performance in its 280-year history.

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.
