Video work

Photoseries Dancer follows my former neighbor Carla, surrounded by the grandeur of her home, reflecting the significance of domestic space as both an emotional and physical anchor for the elderly. The work explores how home serves as a source of stability, memory, and comfort. Our weekly meetings evolved into an exploration of aging and the meaning of home as the emotional and physical anchor.
The video work captures an intimate moment when she spontaneously dances to the music playing on the radio, revealing both her vulnerability and her humorous approach to life. Despite the physical limitations that keep her confined to her home, Carla’s movement embodies her joyfulness and resilience.
