THE TRUTH IS A HARE: OMNI-SILHOUETTED AND PROFILE BLURRED
The truth is a hare crouching in the field. Hiding. The truth remains ambiguous. Omni-silhouetted. Profile blurred.

Impasto applied with spatula and brush in alternating layers of glazing and opaque paint. The paint was scratched in parts while it was still wet, and it was further worked upon with pencil. In this way, objective details arise from abstract structures.

from the series : BUDDHAMINDERS – 2023
The BUDDHAMINDERS series began in the 2000s, since when it has passed through many stages of evolutionary development. The increasingly abstract form of the pre-human primate has reduced the motif, which we understand as a more instinctive human being, to its inner beauty by simply staying in the here and N-O-W. In a process based on the methods of classical sculpture, Sageder has developed objects that relate to the biblical motif of the loss of innocence. The “pre-human” primate, as the animal most similar to man, remains in a paradisiacal state after the Fall. Iris Sageder’s subjects emerge from the thematic circle: loss of innocence – ability to learn – recovery of innocence. Exploring this difference, she documents her works as an experiment in which form and materiality resonantly arouse the natural frequency of the unconscious movements of the soul.
Romulus – After the Kill – 2021
THE MANY WAYS OF MILKY WAYS
In this work, the wolf, as a power animal, was integrated into the image of the primal mother with bulging breasts in front of an iridescent green background. Nature herself as a nursing Gaia. Romulus murdered Remus beyond all childishness. In the act of fighting with and killing his brother he became a muscular grown man. In the depiction chosen here, after the horrific act has taken place, he dreams of regaining the guilt-free status of a child. BEFORE paradise was lost. He drinks lying down. He sucks. He sips smooth white milk that flows through the ages like a river of stars. Milk becomes the carrier of his earliest unformed memory – symbolized by the baby’s head as the center of emotion before the invention of good and evil.
MILK FLOWS THROUGH THE AGES

We (as mankind) come from somewhere and go somewhere. Symbolized here by the primate on the left and the alien on the right. The human being in the center of the triptych stands for the halfway point of evolution. The form of the egg can be interpreted as the external embodiment of an inherent potential.
