A short documentary film made up of archival footage shot in 2003, which was reworked and edited in 2018-2019. The film shows a haphazardly shot, fragmented property viewing and inventarisation through the eyes of a child, featuring a voice over by that same child. Because of having unrestricted access to their family’s camcorder as a child, there were a few instances where the artist's child form had shot ‘full length’ documentary films - with this documentary short being one of those instances. Often these documentations were a call for seeking comfort in a new surrounding, stemming from a deep fear of being forgotten or unheard, and a playful way of documenting one’s thoughts and feelings. In many ways the artist, Mees Joachim, was the original vlogger, before the advent of Youtube.

The juvenile artist take the viewer on a tour of their vacation home in Orlando. In contrast to their earlier childhood home documentary, the artist seems to be a lot more malicious this time around. Yet, from an anthropological standpoint, this juvenile artist's behavior is utmost interesting. In some moments they're a bully, and in other moments they're a silent little lamb, ignoring everything around them, with this second documentary being especially poignant for the artist, as the lopsided family dynamics are ever so prevalent here.
