Domestic Series
When we speak about the domestic, we are discussing a place for performing chores and preparations to fulfill fundamental living essentials. Our lives are becoming more technological and machinery driven; slowly the purposes and content of these functions are becoming overlooked. The dependency and importance they are custom designed to service our modern standards of living. The master and servicing relationship seems to be apparent, but the effect of these interventions slowly become unnoticed.
Using the media of video and photography, I distort the visual and physical qualities of domestic spaces and objects. They play with the sense of familiarity of things we recognize, and the release of minimal information abstracted from their features. These banal and everyday objects are transformed and made iconic. These illusions initiate the re-evaluation of the repetitive and mundane moments commonly shared with these objects. Moreover, this unconventional perspective urges the reconsideration of the importance of these domestic objects and the way they service our way of living.
