Zero Stage looks at the hotel room as a space that is repeatedly prepared, occupied, erased, and reset. Before each guest arrives, the room is arranged into a ready condition, with every object placed, cleaned, and made to appear untouched. During a stay, small traces begin to appear: a shifted chair, a mark on a surface, opened packaging, a changed TV channel, or other quiet signs of use. After check-out, these traces are removed, and the room is returned to its default state for the next visitor. The project makes this cycle visible by holding the room in an in-between condition, where presence and absence, use and erasure, preparation and memory are compressed into one stage.
