Getsay is a Berlin based queer and nonbinary conceptual and performance artist working internationally.
Their interdisciplinary practice spans performance, sculpture, installation, and photography, moving between mediums through a research driven and ethnographic approach grounded in lived experience.
Working with duration, endurance, and ritual, Getsay positions the body as both subject and site. Their work confronts systems that shape the body, including religion, the gender binary, institutional power, surveillance, and conditions of intimacy. Through repetition and physical strain, the body is pushed to its limits, where vulnerability, control, and agency are tested in real time.
Their work centers an investigation of memory, intimacy, and transformation. It asks how memory can form without contact and whether intimacy can exist without touch, while looking at what it takes to rebuild the self within systems that were never meant to hold it.
Getsay has exhibited and performed internationally, including at Burren College of Art, Ernest G. Welch School of Art and Design, Atlanta Contemporary, Emory University, Gallery 874, Studio Hannibal,The Center for Civil and Human Rights, and the Neue Nationalgalerie. They hold an MFA from Georgia State University and are the co founder of Soft Power Studios in Berlin.
