A Man Walks Into A Room
A Man Walks Into A Room explores disorientation, social performance and the unstable space between internal experience and external behaviour.
Using repetition, fragmented speech, staged action and mediated image, the work creates a sense of being caught inside a room, a system, or a loop of perception.
Developed through video, performance and installation, the work reflects on neurodivergent experience, anxiety, absurdity and the difficulty of locating oneself within social and architectural space.

A Man Walks Into A Room explores disorientation, social performance and the unstable space between internal experience and external behaviour.
The work uses repetition, fragmented speech, staged action and mediated image to create a sense of being caught inside a room, a system, or a loop of perception. The room becomes both a physical space and a psychological structure: somewhere entered, repeated, misread and difficult to leave.
Developed through video, performance and installation, the work reflects on neurodivergent experience, anxiety, absurdity and the difficulty of locating oneself within social and architectural space.
Across its single-channel and four-channel forms, the work shifts between documentation, performance and installation. Image, voice and action are treated as unstable signals, creating a fractured encounter with presence, communication and perception.
