Night Stories is a series of video projection on various urban spaces. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, I wrote a series of short texts reflecting on the shared experiences of isolation, boredom, restlessness, and the blurring of work, leisure, and social life through digital screens. As the pandemic reshaped collective rhythms and forms of social interaction, the texts became a way of reflecting on new experiences of distance, intimacy, labour, and connection. Each text begins with an unnamed character—the worker, the swimmer, and others. Composed of exactly ninety-nine words, the texts use abrupt line breaks and omit punctuation, producing a continuous flow intended to accelerate the act of reading.

After dark, I travelled through the city with a portable generator and digital projector, projecting the texts onto arbitrary architectural facades across different neighbourhoods. Due to public health restrictions, the streets were often largely empty. The persistent hum of the generator occasionally drew residents to their windows, where they encountered the projections from a distance. In a moment marked by social withdrawal and uncertainty, the work sought to create small encounters in public space and a fleeting sense that something was still happening.
