Description

you enter into a park emptying of people as a film begins to play on the projector. the sun is setting and you feel as though everyone is leaving and you are the only one left. as the film continues, buildings begin to fall off the street and others grow in their place, if you turn around you will see lifeless characters arrive to sit and watch the film. a plethora of experiences, aesthetic and story-driven, are meant to give you a feeling of loss and replacement.
