“Gesture is the name of this intersection between life and art, act and power, general and particular, text and execution. It is a moment of life subtracted from the context of individual biography as well as a moment of art subtracted from the neutrality of aesthetics: it is pure praxis. The gesture is neither use value nor exchange value, neither biographic experience nor impersonal event: it is the other side of the commodity that lets the “crystals of this common social substance” sink into the situation. (Giorgio Agamben)

INSCRIPTION, ENDURING, POTENTIAL. A SURMISE is a fragment of long-term fluid film project OTHER.
