The video-essay Life Span (2023) was shot entirely with a sports camera attached to the artist’s chest. From this angle, the images show us a person moving between spaces of leisure and work.

This body in work mode moves according to rotating calendars, its bodily functions are set by pre-determined shifts and pauses. The accelerated rhythm of competitive production rate is imposed upon this cognitive worker, who must perform under an eternal feeling of jet-lag.

While the narrator’s voice plays with terms and concepts of corporative language, we see transport mediums as well as transcendental mental states. Reflecting upon today’s work life, Life Span also looks back at historical proletarian production. Here, it appears as the debris found on local shores, and also the material the artist employs to perform the mechanical gesture of binary decisions.
