Watching this man's Youtube videos, I couldn't at first decide if he might really be a 'SERIAL' like some people have suspected, and was quietly 'taunting' the viewer by showing 'clues', or.....
if he was simply a man with time on his hands, documenting his possessions, such as his books of art (he admires Man Ray's photography- so do I!), the artwork on his walls, his music collection, his treasures.
I spent too many hours with this guy this morning, watching the videos he put out there on the world-wide-web for public consumption. On one video, he even asked the viewer to,
'Please subscribe!!!' . So I did. I was strangely fascinated.
And then, I saw this next video, and it all made perfect sense. It explained why he only seemed to be fake-smoking his cigarette, (he could make a single cigarette last 15 minutes, re-lighting it endlessly in the course of one video) it explained his weight loss I'd been witnessing, the deep contemplation he seemed to be experiencing, all of it.
He wasn't trying to tease with sinister clues, he wasn't even just documenting his belongings. I think he was documenting his
very existence, because he was uncertain of how much existence he even had left.
This video should explain, watch until the end, to see his facial expressions and obvious relief. Made me feel like giving him a hug:

For anyone who isn't familiar with it, that's not an S&M/ torture hood, or anything. It's a must-wear during radiation treatment.
