This video takes the form of an instructional care guide for bed sheets. Framed as a set of practical steps for maintenance and use, the work gradually undermines its own clarity, shifting between clarity and breakdown in a way that destabilizes the idea of “proper care.” Familiar domestic gestures are rendered strange, turning routine maintenance into something unstable and difficult to complete. At the same time, the work reflects on care as a system of repetition, labor, and attempted preservation, where the act of maintaining something also involves erasing its traces. The bed sheets—already loaded with associations of intimacy, rest, and body—become both subject and interface for instruction, slipping between functional object and unstable archive. In this way, the video treats care as a process that is constantly disrupted.
