“Elu per se” võtab autorite igapäevasemate ja veidramate hetkede suhtes pigem tunnetava kui ammendavalt sõnastava seisukoha.
Kui inimesele on ehk instinktiivsem mõelda, et kõik selgepiiriline ja kindel on turvaline ning muutuv ja tundmatu hirmutav, pole siiski midagi ohtlikumat just mugavast enesekindlusest. Vaataja on kutsutud normaalsuse, ühemõttelisuse, enesestmõistetavuse illusiooniga mitte leppima ning suhtelisuse seisundiga kohanema.
Vaatamisharjutused umbusaldavad valmisseletusi ja usuvad tõdesid leidvat pigem puhtas jälgimisseisundis.

„Life per se” looks at the mundane and peculiar moments in the artists’ lives in a cognitive way rather than trying to exhaustively phrase them.
Although people tend to instinctively think that everything clearly defined and certain is safe and the unknown is frightening, there is nothing more dangerous than convenient confidence. Viewers are invited not to accept the illusion of normality, unambiguity and self-evidence and to adjust to the condition of relativity.
The studies of perception distrust ready-made explanations and believe truths to be rather found in the state of pure observation.
The cabinet of casual curiosities with a diffuse narrative takes an

look, sensing the presence of the perceiver in every step.
Here vulnerability becomes the greatest strength.
