Urban Hermit guides the viewer’s gaze caught by spectacle of the museum’s central space to workers positioned all over the institution as well as to a cleaner’s path. On two screens in an organic relationship, spaces of the museum are linearly arranged, workers are downscaled in a huge structure and at the same time concealed existential moments of the workers are revealed.   

A cacophony of electronic sounds throughout the entire work suggests an incomplete relationship between the workers and the space. Along with interrupted moving images, it increases a sense of isolation which those workers would feel. Urban Hermit focuses on individuals, giving more weight to individuality than universality, immanent value than universal value. It also raises a question about contemporary power structures produced by capital as well as the value of anonymous individuals belonging to a marginalized class that is invisible within the structures.
