Most of the Time, They Make You Shut Up, Performance Video, 10’15”, 2023

 

Imitating the scene and action typical of a profile picture, I tilt my head, maintaining a gentle smile towards the camera. I stay still, unable to move. Shortly after, I am targeted by a laser pointer, which shines into my eyes and glides across my body. The laser irritates my eyes, making it impossible for me to see the camera. I instinctively dodge but can only make slight movements while still maintaining static and smile.
