The Daily Act
The performance consists of an act of noting down the hours and tasks included in my artistic practice.
I do not consider artistic practice only in terms of production, but I intend to trace all kinds of activities that belong to practicing art as a profession: the visible and invisible tasks, the moments that make the work to take place, the labour that sustains the practice, and the actions that deepen my professional understanding.



Research and Reflection
The work takes on a research-oriented approach, informed by feminist and decolonial thought. Through the ongoing act of recording, I examine relationships to time, labour, and the value of work within broader socio-political contexts. The artist at work unfolds as a comprehensive, all-inclusive performance embedded in social, cultural, and economic conditions.


Systems and Materials
The performance is structured through a system I have developed, the AHRS (Artist’s Hour Recording System), along with supporting materials such as notebooks, templates, and visualisations.


Extensions and Collaborations
Alongside the durational performance, the work serves as a starting point for performative lectures, workshops, and discussion-based situations, including Loud and Slow, a series of artist interviews, From Dusk Til Dawn — Counting what Matters, a workshop imagining AWRS (Artistic Work Recording Systems), as well as the upcoming article A Practice of Practical Practices (Grounds 2026).


The Continuity
The performance will continue until the end of my career as a professional artist.
