ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE LAST UNICORN

Photography and video installation, 2026

A unicorn wanders unnoticed through a Tesco supermarket late at night, moving through the rituals of everyday life as though he belongs there completely. Blurring documentary and performance, the work reflects on alienation, invisibility, and the normalisation of the absurd within contemporary society.
