PPP - Present Perfect Process
Present Perfect Process = session-video performance-installation
[…] Just as trees learn from one another and communicate deeply through their roots, our language too takes many shapes and forms.
PPP =
a scenographic framework for embodied expressions that shape and format nature. Through sensory experience, it engages with the ongoing present, encountering body and environment as interconnected meta-contexts, mediated through somatic and sensory transmissions, in an attempt to reach an island of creation – a safe haven – to draw a circle, find a core, centre oneself, and sink into the flow of streams and dreams and currents.
Forest emerges as a safe environment. The root stands still. Tree/s become a space, a breath, a process, a movement closer to the Self, as a code for the memory of body and spirit, for processing the inner and outer wor/l/d/s…
“Fog” serves as a metaphor for what obscures what lies ahead, making direction harder to find, while inviting us to slow down and focus more closely on the present moment.
Lelis: “The joy of creation is the process of the present and it’s perfect.”
The tree becomes a core – present is perfect – to immerse, to dive in.
Elements are not merely symbols, but active participants. Through direct action and projection, forces emerge that drift apart and merge, forming a dynamic field between the known and the unknown. The body becomes a sensitive medium, intersecting the personal, the mythical, and the collective…
The performative events do not represent a fixed meaning, but instead generate embodied states of perception and transformation. Experience as an outcome. Process. The work unfolds within an expanded present.
"Scent + Art Festival" is a platform where artists take risks, experiment, and explore how scent can become part of art.
The 2026 theme "Through the Fog of Uncertainty" explores living in a time when the future feels unclear and unpredictable. Shaped by war, shifting values, climate change, and rapid technological development, today’s world often feels unstable.
