In a time of constant crisis, our phone screens are both a refuge and a relentless window into catastrophe. Against this backdrop, the installation shifts its focus from the extraordinary to the infra-ordinary: water circulating an empty pool, cars tracing quiet loops, laundry turning endlessly inside a machine. Subtle rhythms of daily life that would go unnoticed were they not captured by live-stream cameras. Nothing happens, and yet, something continues. The work explores the quiet perseverance of a world that simply insists on existing, suggesting persistence as a possible expression of hope.
