Dorian Sari's Art Style

Dorian Sari serves as an observer, exploring public responses to contemporary politics and social movements. The essence of his work revolves around delving into human beings, and cultures, and projecting them with personal and collective mythology into entirely fictional, theatrical scenes. This is based on anthropological and psychoanalytical interpretations of humans and their symbols. Through his artistic expressions, he crafts a specific perspective for a given period in his narratives, predominantly through sculpture, video, and performance. The sublimation of his observations into materials involves ceremonial rituals in the production process.
