The body is man’s first and most natural instrument¹

Everyday history is challenged, intervened and developed through bodies, things, and tools. Thus, the body is the point of exploration into the everyday. We use our body, as a device to mediate through our daily story, only to become history.

The everyday is a constructed narrative. Joseph - a fictional character - is conditioned through the use of his body which depends on imitation, repetition and support. The body marks his daily history. Water becomes a point of intervention to the everyday, to separate, to challenge the everyday and, consequently, to become a moment of contemplation. Through water we are able to purify the past, flow through the present, and be in the future. Water is a tool and our body is a site for change. In my media studies project, I explore this through photography and perspective.
