what a waste of life

Drain Pipe, Copier-Paper Screen, Video-Projection
Part of ContainerSpeak multiple-channel setup
2022



Situated distant from commerce and culture, there is only one way to reach the scene.

Through endless congestions and jams, excess of traffic seeps into the imageless dissociated body which then excretes extrahuman temporalities. The view in this congestion is a wall on which drain pipes hang. This pipe is broken. Into that hole, a copier-paper is fixed to catch a video-projection.

Like water, Cuts flow, 24-to-25 unspaced frames per ordinary persistent second—kilometres of stuckness, in every next cut, empties the body of waste.
