Monica Seggos (b. 1965, New York, USA) is a Greek-American artist focusing on process oriented, narrative based Site-Responsive projects in Environmental, Digital, Performance and Installation Art.
Seggos is medium agnostic, which allows her to use the mode of expression, materials and processes that best express her desired storyline. Each project is a Gesamtkunstwerk, a fusion of multiple mediums that combine into a total work of art. They are cabinets of curiosity and wonder rooms containing disparate elements that when combined in a mise-en-scène, enhance the narrative with the intent to entrance, intrigue and provoke the viewer. Seggos considers the works incomplete until the viewer participates in their existence.
Process is the foundation of Seggos' Site-Responsive practice, enabling her to maintain consistency across all mediums, while narrative maintains the through line in her work.
Process documentation is a crucial component of her work, as vital as the documentation of the projects in situ. Documentation extends the narrative of the project by revealing the back story and a behind the scenes view of the project, from concept development to iteration.
She considers her process books to be works of art in and of themselves.
Seggos' work is self as well as culturally reflective in an emotionally responsive and experiential way, dealing with the human experience, nature, space and time, environment, memories, the metaphysical, transformation, automediality, femininity and relationship.Seggos received a BA from St. Lawrence University and an MA from the Savannah College of Art and Design (2016)
