Momentument

Momentument was a three-week project that occured in March 2025 which aimed to explore the OBJECT:PARADISE Manifesto through creation, curation, and exhibition of community expression.

A full-length film of the project will be released in June 2025.

For the first event of the project, community members were invited to dress two large blank canvases with whatever tools and modes of expression they had access to. By the end of the evening, the two canvases were covered in paint, text, Nutella, glass, money, prescription medicine, and other mixed-media to reveal a holistic piece of community motif and moment.

For the second event, people brought empty picture frames and placed them on the canvases in areas that they thought should be seen. By the end of the evening, 26 picture frames were nailed to the canvases, each frame with their own subjective perspective.

For the final event, we exhibited these unique perspectives and removed the excess canvases. And, by the end of the night, the frames on the walls slowly began to disappear as each of the community members took back their perspective, leaving the project with their own memory of the whole. The 26 framed pieces, now separated from the collective canvas, exist not alone, but differently in their new spaces—as we do, as we will, until we meet again, newly, in the momentument.

A full-length documentary of this project is currently in process and is due to premiere in Berlin in May 2025.
