Description
Videotape began as an obsessive portrait series of my partner and has now grown over seven years into a diary that attempts to record everything. In doing so, it reaches the limits of documentation: the intimate and the banal, losing and rediscovering each other, crises, the familiar, the fleeting. In order to develop a picture of the changes that occur in a long-term relationship, the small parts that make it up, what it is in the first place, no consideration can be given to media uniformity. Smartphone snapshots, analogue 35mm photos, short diary-like text snippets or video recordings - whatever is available and best suited to the moment at hand is used to get a little closer to the big picture.
