The Otolith Group was founded in London by Anjalika Sagar and Kodwo Eshun in 2002.

They are interdisciplinary artists working internationally for over two decades with a pluralistic body of forms including, installation, publication, performance, photography and video. Their practice observes various areas and methods of research that manifests as experimental readings or distinct cosmogonies that see and listen across media with sounds, texts and images in dialogue with the cultures and communties of the global majority who form the continents and countries of the global south and its diasporas.

They work with time and space, with intertemporality and interscalarity in their works, drawing from collaborations and affinities with artists, theorists, philosophers, poets and composers such as Mahmoud Darwish, Eyal Weizman, Denise Ferreira Da Silva, Susan Schuppli, Saidiya Hartman, Drexciya, Gerald Donald, Remnant of a Hydrogen Particle, Chris Marker, Julius Eastman, Etel Adnan, Elaine Mitchener, Kathryn Yusoff, Fred Moten, Jean Genet and many others.

Transnational events, photographic archives, movements, compositions, theories, performances, vocalities, poetics in sound and in moving and non-moving images are woven, improvised and pursued as an ongoing experiment with the film essay.

The name 'Otolith' originates from an early art work titled 'Otolith (2003)'. This work involved an in-depth encounter with Zero Gravity at the Cosmonaut Training Centre at Star City near Moscow and provided us with a conceptual and scientific thought-form that could help metabolize and spatialize the cosmologies of our time.

For TOG the calcium carbonate microcrystals of the otolith crystals that sit within the inner ear, operate as a kind of black box or a memory recorder or as agravic sensors that support withholding intention, gauging impact, measuring expectation and calculating discrepancy.

The Otolith Group's work has been exhibited internationally and this site is an archive of their past, current and future work.
