I give the door a nod – Oh porous membranes...

Master project

A flexible ritual, a mundane encounter.
What you see is a timestamp in an ongoing (re)search for everyday relationships with ‘things’. By phenomenologically studying how I encounter the mundane, material world around me—switching a light-switch, taking a sip of tea, sitting against a wall—I look for a sense of rootedness in everyday life.

When I go ino water, we work together and exchange. We melt at some places.
My body is my main medium. The ‘things’ I encounter are my research-partners. Or should I say, sometimes we become one and the same thing?

I am not capable with my mind to recognize or describe what is exchanged, or changed. But I sense it with my body. I know that we share, for this moment, more than usually. I trust that marks are left, memories are activated, remade.
