In my video work, I film the camera that is currently filming me.

The camera is both my tool and the subject of my investigation.

It is my counterpart—and vice versa.

I resist its gaze, resist being seen, but I also use it as a mirror, as a means of communication, connection, and demarcation. 

Between the two cameras, which reflect one another, an interstitial space emerges in which my role is functional through my operation of the devices.

The viewer is drawn into this interstitial space, where the planes of the person taking the photograph (me), the tool, the subject, the image—and the viewer’s own—exist in an enigmatic relationship to one another.

They themselves are being photographed, it seems.

They see (through the viewfinder of the filming camera) the photographing camera—but not what its images would show: the camera that is their own eye.

My attempt to bring together something like different subjects is futile and fails.

What remains is a longing for unity and identity.
