“In Mobile Sanctum”

In mobile – while in motion, Sanctum –privacy and in contrary intrusion of privacy. Localizing the moment that is in motion, the subject is in a static position on an object in motion; she is in motion internally, in her private and almost meditative holy place. The camera has the power to infiltrate into the sanctum. The reflection of my self and her space in the background are reminders of a certain distance and bond at the same time. A signifier that a public space can be personal in one’s state of sleep and of the vulnerable aspect of it as well. The close proximity of surveillance creates curiosity and obsession. This becomes a unique relationship. She looks intentionally over exposed. Her skin is white. She is calm, she is almost transparent. I am Intruding/entering into her dreams through the frame. The video “In Mobile Sanctum” was shot by a cell phone camera.
