A DAY
Copeland gallery, UK
A Day was created on the final day of a 21-day quarantine in a hotel room in Qingdao, China, in December 2020.
The work reflects on the repetitive patterns of daily life, exemplified by the routine delivery of three bottles of water each day. Appearing in the video in the same attire worn throughout quarantine—camisole, flip-flops, and pajama pants—the artist embodies the monotony and confinement of isolation.
The piece explores how such patterns shape our existence and raises questions about the possibility of breaking free from the cycles of history within the relentless passage of time.
