Presence is a video performance that extends my photographic project Stories of Everyday Life
and translates my painterly method into the medium of film. I continue the gesture of repetition, destruction and reconstruction, cutting and reassembling, this time through movement and sound.
The work reflects on time, compressing it into a single surface of the screen. At its center remains my own presence and everyday life, which form the main field of artistic exploration.

On a chosen day, I record short sequences with a phone camera, from waking up until falling asleep. The recordings are made at 15–30‑minute intervals, creating a series of 64 shots shown simultaneously. The camera is directed at myself, allowing chance to become a co‑creator of the work. I do not build
a narrative or establish hierarchies, each moment holds equal value, whether ordinary or exceptional.

In this way, an animated self‑portrait emerges: a map of everyday life that remains open and is periodically expanded with new frames. I work with commonly available equipment and simple editing tools, drawing inspiration from amateur filmmaking.
