This work reveals the intricate connection between two individuals in love—one of whom is me. Every day, the happenings within our apartment were captured by a surveillance camera, creating a continuous archive of lived moments. As I looked through these recordings, I extracted certain instances and saved them as still images. The relationship, seemingly unique for the two of us, began to echo scenes from television programs, films, TV shows, and fragments of literature.

Thus, the depiction of our relationship within the single apartment transforms into an exploration of mundane rituals. Through this process of observation, I reconstruct captured moments in a studio setting, stepping into a dual role—both as the observer and the observed. Fiction blurs with lived experience, and the boundaries between the fabricated and the authentic dissolve; simulated emotions are felt as genuinely as real ones, and vice versa.

This emerging disconnection within personal relationships destabilizes the notion of uniqueness in individual experience, challenging the authenticity of our emotional evaluations and the validity of our perceived personal traumas.
