The Days That Build Us presents a selection of video works from PAMM’s collection, each offering a unique perspective on moments that shape our identities and define our paths. Through the lens of artists like Tania Candiani, Dara Friedman, Deborah Jack, Rivane Neuenschwander in collaboration with Cao Guimarães, and Miguel Ángel Rojas, the exhibition explores the complexities of the human experience that build us.
Rojas’ exploration of Colombian society challenges viewers to confront uncomfortable truths, while Candiani’s multidisciplinary practice prompts critical contemplation of ideologies, resilience, and labor. Friedman’s intimate portrayal of couples kissing invites reflection on the nature of intimacy and public display, while Jack’s work offers a deep exploration of personal and cultural identity through vivid imagery. Neuenschwander’s playful yet profound narratives imbue the mundane with poetic significance. Together, these works invite viewers to reconsider their understanding of familiar concepts and reflect on daily moments that shape their own lives.
