1056 hours part 2
Installation, photography. 2025
Collaboration with Matthew Chung.
As a continuation of the previous work, 1056 Hours Part II places the installation within a real commercial setting, drawing inspiration from postcard racks commonly found in souvenir shops. The rack was temporarily installed in a corner shop in London and documented through photography. In this shift, the work moves from a private visual narrative to a quiet insertion into public space.
The images, which once recorded moments of intimate daily life, are now situated among everyday consumer goods. The rack appears to blend naturally into the shop environment, yet it also feels slightly out of place. No longer presented solely as a display of personal memory, the work enters a space that is both specific and familiar. It becomes part of the everyday, introducing a subtle sense of interruption and presence.
The resulting photograph is both a record of the installation and an observation of its placement within a real environment. It reflects a certain condition of the everyday within the city, a visual presence that exists and may be easily overlooked. It suggests a quiet tension between image and life.
