In her debut video poem, the artist investigates homesickness, homelessness and the state of being stuck in an ephemeral in-betweenness.

 

Houses morph. Houses do not define who you are. Houses change all the time, so do we. We are in a state of constant flux. How can one find a proper or suitable representation of this fleeting state?

 

By turning the camera inwards, Magda examines the idiosyncrasies of living on the margins of time and space. She imagines herself as an object, a fleeting ghost, a spectral presence with a portal into different worlds, dimensions and states of consciousness.
