'Patience' is not only a characteristic, it is a virtue. Normally, it doesn't come per se written in the DNA of humans, therefore is a virtue that we can exercise. In our everyday life, we need this virtue to cope with our surroundings and society. Even if we live in a world that somehow changed the paradigm of life from 'you should wait for it' to 'get it now, faster', patience is still there for those who want to welcome it. Also, when you are in certain countries, being a certain foreigner, ‘patience’ is a must on your luggage: bureaucracy, relationships, distances, more bureaucracy…; expose a challenge to the individual. In this performative video work, I study the meaning of 'patience', to see if I am capable of passing every grain of rice from one rice pile to the other. Will I have enough patience to do it? Will the viewer be able to watch it till the end? We can only answer these questions if you just try.
