Narrative Form: Observing Imprints of Time

A blank form — a necessity for definition, precision, and evaluation.

A blank form does not allow space or time for reflection, blank is a structure meant for fixation and control over human activities.

Fill in the blank according to the template, bypassing subtleties and nuances.

A pre-set script for response.


After nearly 30 years of human absence in the factory, I collect information from surfaces — frozen within the building until the moment of their next update or destruction. Graphical documentation, the imprint of time, and traces of both presence and absence become a narrative layer over the empty form.
