Alone Time

Nour Annan

Alone Time invites the audience to experience a different rendition of a familiar routine: eating takeout while consuming media through a screen. Created as a response to the romanticized communal dinners of the art world, this piece is positioned between the real and ideal of dining experiences. It explores the comfort and familiarity of this private indulgence while introducing an unfamiliar spectatorship to the space. The physical and aural presence of other bodies interrupts the ritualistic alone time, which may compound feelings of alienation or replace them with a communal experience altogether.
