We perform many tasks and process a lot of information during our daily life. However, we do not always consciously think about every single task we perform or information we process. A lot of them are automatically performed and processed, out of our own experiences and practices.

Experiences and practices allow us to recognize a pattern, something that is easily predictable, and build a structure around them, eventually making us not require any further thought. As our life becomes more and more complicated, we leave more and more things to autopilot.

In his video, photo, installation works, he often seeks out accustomed patterns we take for granted in daily life, in order to break the convention to bring them into the viewer’s attention for reflection.
