Missing Paths

Synchronous dual-channel HD video, color & sound, 14’19’’, 2022

This dual-channel video work revolves around a path the artist repeatedly walked with her grandmother: from the new home she shared with her mother to her grandparents’ former residence. Her grandmother would often accompany her after dinner and then return alone. In the summer of 2018, the old house was demolished, and this once-daily route became a space of memory—no longer accessible, yet quietly persistent.

 

The work is composed of two perspectives: one from the artist’s own point of view, capturing streets and scenery; the other from an external lens that observes her walking along the path. This second gaze—both that of another and a remembrance of the past—trails her like a shadow. A subtle 30-second delay separates the two timelines, allowing similar scenes and figures to appear across both frames, yet never perfectly overlap. They hover in slippage, between alignment and misalignment. As the two perspectives traverse space, they eventually converge before the ruins of what once was.
