Things We Do Everyday is a mesmerizing exploration of mundane office daily routines presented in a video. The video documents the everyday actions of workers in a bustling printing studio that produces prints for artists and photographers in Shanghai, China. From the delicate movement of ink across paper to the rhythmic tapping of tools against a printing plate, each gesture of the workers' work is elevated to an art form in its own right.
As the camera pans across the studio, viewers are invited to witness the magic of the printing process in action. The hands of the workers move in precise grids, creating a mesmerizing visual rhythm that ebbs and flows like ocean waves. The repetitive nature of the gestures creates a sense of meditative calm, drawing the viewer into a state of peaceful contemplation.
