About

Staging a Zoom-Call with myself, I let splinters of me interact with each other. Versions of myself meet in the virtual room. Trying to form a connection, they can not seem to overcome the threshold separating them, their dialogues never meet. While one asks “Can you hear me?” another one negates, nods or informs the others of a lost signal. In the concrete world, the separation between them would be the flow of time that places them in a linear, consecutive order. In my video work “Can you hear me”, that notion of non-union is the digital. While it gives them the room to encounter free of the orders of time, the technical itself becomes a symbol of their separation.
