ENG This piece is composed of a video of a window, the sound of the abandoned street and a text created and recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is a video of a window in quarantine. It is the artist's window but it could also be anybody's window. The text that follows is a composition of struggling thoughts and an attempt to rationalise the pandemic. The narrator explores his thoughts and doubts, perhaps present in all of our heads, it explores the inherent nostalgia but also the comfort of abandonment and continues to question the politics of isolation.
The video is in squared format drawing a parallel between the squared format of the window seen in the video and the metaphorical squared window of Instagram in which we share our isolation through consumption of social media content.
