Untitled
(2024) - Video installationAfter attempting to decode the footage of Second Hand Suffering, the images became corrupted, emerging crushed and broken.
Despite the failed attempt, I stumbled upon something remarkable: the images possessed a certain power that the original footage lacked. The haptic quality I was searching for in Second Hand Suffering was embedded in the tactility of the corrupted image.
It felt as though I could physically feel the image, as if it were prickling. After repeatedly corrupting the footage further using Handbrake, I arrived at a final result that, in terms of feeling, was closer to the original concept.
