DEPARTURE (2020)

 

I've been thinking a lot about 'arrival' and 'departure'. What audiovisual phenomena mark the presence of another person? Are they here but not here? (When) are they coming back?

Using a common household fan, I simulated the wind someone generates [leaves in their wake] when departing. The coat and jacket slumped over the chair become charged objects, in which an theoretical individual has stored personhood - a fragment of their authority.
