"𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹" is a video installation that explores how technology shapes self-perception, memory, and daily life. It centers on the quiet rituals of self-documentation—morning routines, meals, moments alone—and how these acts become performances under the constant gaze of the camera.The work considers how contemporary life is lived in anticipation of being seen, recorded, and remembered. As the camera’s gaze is internalized, individuals adjust their movements and self-presentation—even in private. By filming the same actions from multiple angles, the installation fragments the idea of a fixed identity, presenting the self as something continually shaped by perception.
The artists examine the blurred line between authenticity and curation in digital culture. Edited and staged content is often received as real, revealing a tension between what we know and what we feel. The work surfaces this contradiction, showing how digital narratives generate intimacy while concealing their constructed nature.
Through non-linear editing, recursive framing, and disrupted sequences, ordinary normal highlights how digital media reshapes our sense of time and memory. What seems spontaneous is often rehearsed, and what feels linear is built from fragments. The work invites reflection on how technology not only mediates what we share, but how we remember, perform, and understand ourselves.
