on tenter hooks [threaded or shredded] une fois de plus, sans. She uses the plain weave, the strongest, simplest and most ancient of weaving techniques. She occasionally intervenes in it, pulling at the threads, un-evening the pattern and adjusting the shape in a way that is both patient and slightly violent, challenging its pre-determined form. dariya likes to rearrange glossaries, grids and gaps in her close readings of architecture and built environments. She indicates the performative potential of space, working with object-based compositions, voice, sound and movement. Stretching the codes of repetition.

Night Shift

Nino works the night shift as a receptionist in a 2-star hotel. He is torn between insomnia, a harmful routine, and nostalgia for easier times. Besides brief and eerie encounters with customers, he spends the night trying to find ways to stay awake. When he is not lost in scrolling, binge-watching, or drinking coffee, he walks around the hotel experiencing the nocturnal oddities that flow through rooms and corridors. Grey walls, rotten interiors, and empty spaces seem to translate the palette of emotions shared by all the inhabitants of the hotel. Using the very same digital tools that force him into alienation, Nino records and listens to his most intimate confessions. This acoustic diary will be his only lighthouse in a hazy and lonely dimension.
