PALMSWEAT (2024)
SOUND, MOVEMENT, TEXT, VOICESOUND DESIGN x EMIR CHACRA
PALMSWEAT for the sweat of the palm and the sweat of my body and the sweat of a threat.
PALMSWEAT is a rendering of palm leaves blowing in a storm mixed with a close recording of a movement sequence in which the body rustles. the video runs in an ambiguous loop with no clear beginning or end. the field recordings of winds are jostling.
PALMSWEAT is ominous, a foreboding. PALMSWEAT is the first point of contact with the viewer. multiplied and refracted in the installation space, it is a foreground and a background at once.
