Bedroom is an ongoing endurance performance practice between my partner, Logan St. Hilaire, and me. Since the beginning of 2025, my partner and I have been engaged in an ongoing performance in which trail cameras are installed within our bedroom spaces, continuously recording our movement. The project has evolved into a long-term investigation of surveillance and its quiet, persistent presence within domestic life.

By adopting a tool typically used to monitor wildlife, we position ourselves ambiguously between human and animal; both subject and specimen. The camera flattens moments of intimacy, mundanity, and routine into data. In this way, our bodies become sites of study, implicating us within broader systems of surveillance, control, and visibility.

As the project extends over years, it accumulates not just footage, but a durational archive of existence.
