Towards the Process

media-installation
The work examines attention and control through a closed system of observation. A camera installed in the exhibition space continuously records the environment and, every fifteen minutes, sends an image to an office printer. Each print falls onto the floor, gradually forming a growing layer of paper in which it becomes impossible to distinguish sequence, hierarchy, or significance.
The moment of printing is easy to miss. As a result, the viewer enters a situation where the central experience is not the event itself, but waiting. The intervals between cycles become a key component of the installation, shifting attention away from the image toward duration, pause, and anticipation.
The work constructs a triangular structure of observation: the camera records the space, the printer translates the image, and the viewer observes the printer. In this loop, attention is directed not only at the technical process, but at the act of looking itself — how focus emerges, disperses, returns, and becomes exhausted.
Observation here is no longer neutral. It turns into an action without gesture and a form of labor without result. The installation operates within the logic of the attention economy, yet refuses any climax or reward. Instead, it proposes a steady, administrative rhythm — repetitive, technical, and indifferent to meaning.
The accumulating prints do not function as an archive or documentation. They register the erosion of difference: each image dissolves into the next, history does not progress but is gradually erased through repetition. The viewer is invited not to consume the work, but to remain with it — to stay, to endure the pause, and to treat waiting as a form of participation.
