How to Empty and Fill Up a Glass

Performance, Video work | Black cube recording | 2021

This continuous performance explores the often-overlooked labor behind everyday tasks. A performer moves wooden panels, symbolizing water, as they repeatedly fill a glass, only to empty it again. The cyclical nature of the task highlights the futility and persistence inherent in certain activities- work that, no matter how meticulously done, is never truly finished. It becomes a reflection on the passage of time, the exhaustion that comes with endless repetition, and the way these simple acts can mirror broader human experiences of striving, yet never reaching completion.
