Aerobics is modern sport having highly secular form of public entertainment. It is deprived of all religious or ritual contexts driven by contemporary comercialisation, competitiveness of consumer society. However distant from religion institutions it still bears values and cultural spirit of society as sport is collective form of cultural expression.

The performance Aerobics was created as a response to the rise of religious fundamentalism in Georgia after the collapse of the Soviet system. The artists incorporated movements of the three most important religions in Georgia – Christianity (Orthodox and Catholic), Islam, and Judaism (such as crossing oneself, kneeling, touching ears with hands) – and transformed them into the TV aerobic instructions stressing on mundane mechanical process of religious expressions in pseudo religious society.

The work performance was presented at 55th Venice Bienalle. Just10 days before the performance a group of priests beat local LGBT rally participants up on the streets of Tbilisi while the police watched indifferently. The fact proves the raise of internal self-empowerment of the Orthodox Church. Furthermore, this is a country where you can usually see the believers in the streets who are crossing themselves and many new orthodox temples are being built.
