Ministry of the Interior (2026)

This collective experiment in attention is an ongoing series that aims to offer a space of respite and focus. Up to 20 participants gather to spend 90 minutes in a shared environment, each engaging in a quiet, self-directed activity, such as reading, writing, making, listening, or simply being present.

The work emerges from my ongoing interest in the relationships between attention, affection, connection, and action. I am interested in how focused presence can become a minor form of care, and how shared structures of time can produce moments of intimacy among strangers. The series explores how private experiences can exist inside collective space, and how small, intentional frameworks can shift our perception of time, sound, and social proximity.

The events also function as a platform for performative and listening-based interventions. Sound, silence, and subtle actions operate as ways of producing liminal environments where participants can move between interior and exterior awareness.

This work treats attention as something communal, fragile, and powerful.
