Raum sein / Being room

Over a 24-hour period, my webcam took photos to record the changes in my living space, which, at the time, was just one room. The place was transformed by the movement of objects and dominated by the change of light. My body is not visible in space, but nonetheless remains rather present. The objects appear to move all by themselves. They change place through habitual movements. The space itself begins to live by itself and becomes the principal actor in this video.
