Visibility does not have to prohibit behaviour in order to organise it.

​

In Where Waves Reveal, an uncovered residential window becomes a persistent condition of possible observation. Inside it, the same body moves between socially ambiguous behaviour and an immediately legible performance of professional success. Both take place under the same visible frame.

​

The work asks what repeated visibility does to behaviour when no explicit instruction is given. The body can deviate, but it remains available to interpretation—and repeatedly returns to a recognisable form.

​

A second screen reverses this movement. Inspired by the selkie myth, a body by the sea attempts to shed its existing skin. One channel returns to legibility; the other moves towards indeterminacy.

Channel One: Returning to a Legible Form
Different bodily states repeatedly placed within the same condition of continuous visibility

Day

departure from everyday function → animal imitation → purposeless physical expenditure → return to a recognisable posture

Night

appearance of a social role → sustained performance of busyness → acknowledgement of the external gaze → restoration of order and exit
