Waiting for a Phone Call

A pencil with white engraved letters “Waiting for a phone call” is stuck on the wall, on its tip, in a precarious balance after it completed a doodle drawing. It encapsulates a real moment in time and transforms a thought into a object. 

With my work I aim to crete a new timeline; a timeline that exists in parallel to the reality of the physical space. Borrowing the term “timeline” from the video editing program ‘Premiere’, I create works that bring into flesh specific moments in time. I choose everyday objects that have minimum monetary value and invest in them high personal value. Thus I create vessels of time, or just few prolonged seconds, as the viewer can ‘drag’ the “time” in any point they want.
