UNTITLED
The work consists of a “flawed” video loop composed of six actions from ordinary moments of daily life, presented simultaneously in a split screen. It emerges from my questioning of communication through observations of interpersonal relationships. Within these observations, I noticed how people develop alternative ways of communicating when direct communication fails, and how these methods gradually become systematic through repeated use of certain objects and actions. While the object enables the action to take place, the action itself transforms into a tool.
I cut out these actions, shaped over time and repeated in specific situations, and revisit them from an external perspective.
In contrast to a seamless loop, these loops keep their seam visible. The flaw echoes behavioral patterns that seem to end in one moment, only to begin again in another.
