Residue

The Residue project includes three videos showing the impact of man on the surrounding matter and the subsequent dispersion of the effects of his actions. Each shot presents situations right after the interaction between a human being and the environment and space. My project refers to various activities: passive – constant pressure exerted on the surfaces in contact with the body; involuntary – such as leaving behind warmth, and active human action, which results in having a visible impact on the form of the surroundings.

The idea of the work is a visual representation of the human – object – world relationship. Objects have properties that allow them to preserve and remember our energy. In each of the presented cases, the trace of human action disappears and the energy transferred to objects is dispersed. Its disappearance is caused by the force of entropy, which constantly affects the world. The temporality and transience of the traces remaining after human interaction is a key message of this piece.
