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.
