Pejac Art Documentation
Through a series of short documentary films, this project follows the interventions of Pejac, a street artist known for his minimalist, politically-charged works across public spaces. The films trace moments of quiet protest, beauty, and resistance—paintings that appear and disappear in doorways, walls, windows, and oceanside ruins. These visuals are more than records; they’re dialogues between artist, place, and viewer. Each piece reflects on urgent issues like climate change, war, and displacement—without spectacle, only the still gravity of art as witness.
