Special Edition 2

2024 / 2 single-channel videos / colour / silent

The iPhone SE 2 was released in 2020 as a budget alternative to the mainline iPhones. It is now an obsolete device. The cracks on the device itself, previously a nuisance of daily usage, now look like age rings on a tree. The material gathered with the phone are snapshots: fragments of unplanned encounters, screenshots of found things or pictures to communicate logistics. They seem to say, “I am here now,” and are never to be looked at again.
