On Excess and Form / Bodies Without Permission (2016-2026)
On Excess and Form / Bodies Without Permission is an ongoing integrated practice unfolding through painting, textile, spatial installation, and durational activation. Large-scale paintings and tapestries establish spatial structures that organize visibility, movement, and proximity.
These environments are activated through durational group performances involving body-painted performers and live soundscapes. Bodies operate not as representations but as spatial agents—testing, extending, and disrupting the formal logic of the constructed space. Movement, stillness, and endurance function as compositional elements, allowing the work to shift between control and exposure, discipline and resistance.
Across its iterations, the project examines how bodies are regulated, rendered legible, or excluded within systems of control, while opening space for excess, refusal, and collective reconfiguration. The work remains open-ended, adapting to each context while sustaining a continuous inquiry into embodiment, power, and form.
