Some things never happened, and yet we remember them

I am standing on my balcony and observing a house on the green hill which is situated exactly opposite me. I am thinking about the revolutionary design of the camera obscure by Leonardo da Vinci and that spot which, by the strength of light, passes the current state of things in. I am copying the dynamic of the design onto my position and in that abstract construction, I see myself as a point of omission and fraction. The time is passing by and the seasons are changing, and the image inside me is continually harmonizing with the courtyard scene. I analyse what I see and fantasize about all the instabilities which happen inside the chosen perception and I turn some of them into a film event. I am a female tenant in Podolje 28 and I am standing across my own courtyard.
