‘if i become pavement flesh remains untouched’ proposes other forms of material translation of the performance-based gestures, the possibilities of self-preservation by seeing the body as matter.
I wonder what happens when a surface absorbs gestures, folding and modulating itself like a voice or body does, seeking possible escapes and paths when faced with the demand for visibility and legibility of the presences that structure public spaces.
This set of structures activates a methodology of overflow, an excess of something. Through this, I imagine a plastic transformation. Becoming surface, becoming pavement. A survival act in which the flesh remains intact by merging with matter, because it is matter
