The Elevator
A site of strange encounters
Unusual coincidences
Near escapes
Dangerous accidents
Or a sudden malice
It is an entrance and an exit,
It is a place for a resolution
and a place of conflict
A box of paradox
At the intersection of time and space.
Spaces of possibility
Cauldrons of social discomfort…
The Elevator Project explores migration, transcendence, and departure through the lens of elevator dynamics. It began with silent observations in various elevators, leading to the setup of a camera in a busy engineering building elevator. This setting captured diverse human interactions, highlighting the transient nature of movement within confined spaces. The project transforms the ordinary experience of using elevators into a profound artistic narrative about silent stories and fleeting connections.
