I have a few more prints from the @aburridisimes exhibition, if you’d like one please send me a message! I would be happy to ship some!
Images & design by me, printed in Barcelona.
I put 23 of my friends in a tent for 10 minutes and told them to do nothing and took some photos of them getting bored. I got lots of very silly results. Photography is so fun.
Images from my project for @aburridisimes ’s exhibition ‘I Will Bore Myself to Either Death or Self Illumination’ at @e66_______
From my project for our @aburridisimes exposition at @e66_______ ‘I Will Bore Myself to Either Death or Self Illumination’ in February —
I constructed an ephemeral space that encourages it’s occupant to be bored. I suspended a light, a soft box, and my camera from the top of the space and invited 23 participants to spend 10 minutes alone and do nothing. I took an image every minute on the minute.
During the exhibition, the space served as an interactive installation where each viewer could enter in order to challenge their own attention and relationship with boredom.
Thank you @photoutopiabcn for your sponsorship & equipment donation & thank you to all 23 participants for your time and enthusiasm!

\\\ Why is boredom so scary? * How does it manage to tickle the very asleep parts of your mind? (!) Boredom comes with an avoidance instinct that we can’t seem to brush off. _____ I want to be bored, don’t you? _____ Like an idea that haunts my spirit. I cannot make sense of it. * No news is good news and yet I must update everyone all the time.* A call into the void, a callout to appreciating nothingness and everything she brings along. ____ I will be bored. ____ I will bore myself to either death or self illumination. ///
