This video shows a corridor-like space with no doors or windows. A pendulum with a light bulb swings like a clockwork between the sides of the room, creating a mechanical rhythm of light and darkness. In this alternation, wall surfaces become visible, covered with fragments of memory: a floral wallpaper, a devotional image, a stuffed deer head, and cryptic formulas that denote “eternity” and “remembering” as variable states. At first, these elements seem familiar and biographically rooted.
With the repetition of the pendulum’s swing, this legibility shifts. The scene loses its intimacy and tips into a condensed, claustrophobic structure. The room appears less as a place than as a system of repetition and feedback, in which personal and historical traces are no longer separable.
The space thus becomes a repository without hierarchy, in which memory is not archived but continuously reconstructed. What appears as biographical material dissolves into an abstract logic of recurrence.
This logic continues in the transition to the physical installation. Objects from the video reappear in real space, dissolving the boundary between virtual and physical space. A devotional image of the Christ Child feeding doves and ceramic animal skulls reflect the motifs shown. Individual objects reappear on Polaroids on the wall, including the stuffed deer head. Through this repeated translation between media, things circulate between reality, image, and meaning. Documentation, staging, and ideology become indistinguishable. The space appears both real and constructed – as a symbol of a present in which historical relics, political narratives, and media repetitions create an experience of permanent recurrence.
