“It is almost banal to say so yet it needs to be stressed continually: all is creation, all is change, all is flux, all is metamorphosis.”
— Henry Miller

Everything is ongoing and never finished. Transition is a permanent condition. There is no beginning, middle nor end. There is no sunset, nor is there a sunrise – instead we are the ones in motion.
I use images of the journey, the voyager and transitory spaces (like hotel rooms) as metaphors to describe transition as the sole constant in life, and in-betweenness as the only state of being. The concepts of departure and arrival dissolve as the traveler keeps moving - a gravity towards constant change. The voyager's home becomes the hotel room and the airplane. Spaces to pause, never to dwell.

SAY AGENT OR PRESS ZERO (2013)
Running time: 21:30min. loop, 1 channel video projection.
We are in a phase in which change happens at an accelerating pace. It can leave one dizzy, disoriented and overwhelmed at times – like a loss of control. We 'burn-out' as we try to keep up with this new pace, and some of us move backwards, hoping to reestablish a balance that seems lost.
The acceleration of change forces us out of our comfort zones, out of our habits and into adjustments. It forces us to re-act. Coevally it offers a chance to embrace core conditions of life that we usually prefer to ignore: impermanence and uncertainty.
