Permessus documentation examines the multi-layered production processes behind the Permessus series. The video focuses on the application of mud onto the concrete materials used in the exhibition, highlighting the interplay between research and display. Presented in a two-channel format, one screen shows the act of applying the mud, while the other contrasts the hand movements as mud is taken from an unseen container. This dual perspective emphasizes the fluidity of the process, showcasing both the physical act of creation and the invisible, often unnoticed gestures that guide it. Permessus documentation reflects the ongoing negotiation between materiality, labor, and presentation, mirroring the evolving nature of the Permessus series.
This video is part of Permessus, an ongoing series that explores how imagined places can question the structures we navigate in daily life.
