a way making it interactive for the viewer to be in an illusion about its very existence.
The aim was to slow down time, bring focus on something that we see constantly, highlighting what is already existing. Focused on the everyday imagery, I witnessed the wall and it’s marks as a part of my sight.
The effects of time, are traced by taking a backwards journey in documenting it.
There is a constant questioning of what is significant and not significant, and to feed that idea the work exists. The wall

away the regularity of the everyday.
