Prime Time Paradise

Waiting is a process shaped by the developments of the modern revolution of our time. Distraction has never been more accessible, and this fundamentally affects how we experience moments of stillness. This work reflects on that condition by merging multiple television images into one another, blurring the boundaries between beginning and end. Through the absence of sound, the video evokes a sense of calm while simultaneously overwhelming the viewer with content, much like the modern era overwhelms us with a constant wave of information.
