Some days before the birth of my child, in November 2018, I began filming the sky every day. It is becoming an ongoing archive - Only Acts of Productivity - the archive grows daily! What is actually being documented? I use my everyday life as a stage, and moments reveal themselves. For example, you can hear my baby close to my body while I am filming, you can hear how he is learning to speak and increasingly calling from a distance. You can hear the movement - while you reflect on yourself in the bluish-gray emptiness of the shiny surface of the screen. I am engaged in what archiving work is, what an archive actually consists of. How does the performative translate into the digital? With the publication of the video archive, I want to make its scope tangible and visualize the everyday and the excessive. I am giving the collection a place here in the digital space. An essential aspect of my artistic work is the serial, the processual, the duration, as well as the conceptual emergence.
