Follow Back (2025)

video performance, 23 min

After discovering a stranger’s livestream, a month unfolds under his balcony through watching and being watched.

Follow Back reflects on intimacy, surveillance, and queer desire in public space. Through a month-long duet of following, the work intertwines the artist's physical and digital interactions with a stranger, blurring the boundaries between public and private, virtual and physical, seen and unseen.
