Dominant notions tend to push for singularity of experience and suppress the possibilities of experiencing and accepting plurality.

This video examines the word ‘Switzerland’, that has a strong, pre-defined imagery / index. During a short visit to Basel in 2014, my circumstances kept me mostly confined in space and time. I use 15 second slices, shot every 20 minutes, from morning till night to represent my experience.
