Rotterdam, NL

Sketching on an invisible architecture produced from the weaponization of waiting of institutionalised visa regimes, the ear oscillates from waiting halls to the raised ridges of the palmar surface of the hands. Between a fingertip, a bedroom, and the pulse of the wrist, an ecology of waithood is mapped, reading its inscription both extra- and inter-corporeally, with the biological body turned into a machine -readable 'text', irreversibly stored in repositories of biometric data banks.
