Most people act, speak, and engage differently online than they do irl (in real life). In this work, real text and online conversations submitted by anonymous users through a sub reddit forum have been collected and archived and layered over video footage of public spaces captured during the day and again in the evening. These conversations zoom in on the emotional and psychological behavioural patterns reflected by the changing of day into night.

Pakathi is interested in the anxieties of being, the interconnectivity of the human condition as experienced through digital technologies, and the external reflections of our internal vulnerabilities. He explores these themes through video vignettes, digital observations, and photographic interrogations.
