Daily Dose, 2023. 5m video, originally projected behind a peephole.

Slapping, slipping, and pinching, Daily Dose mutates medical objects with evocative gestures. Latex tubing, surgical forceps, scalpels, and nitrile gloves perform sensually and playfully for the viewer through a tiny peephole in the wall. I’m curious how portals allow people to project their minds outside of their flesh and into other bodies, or objects, or spaces.

My practice investigates the concept of the ‘imagined body’; that is, the forms created by culture which people project themselves into or with. We, the viewer or user, imagine ourselves as or with these bodies. We consume or imitate their strength or weakness, their pleasure or pain. We occupy the space of their body.
