Parking Lot - single channel digital video (work in progress) ~15 mins.

Parking Lot uses found footage from YouTube to look at how people appropriate the residual spaces of global capitalism to create temporary public space. The video presents typologies of transgressions staged in parking lots of superstores and chains around the world, from Tesco and Costco to Walmart and Carrefour. While portraying the inventiveness and creativity of rebellious and joyful acts of reclaiming space, the video also points to their limits, suggesting the difficulty of completely overcoming the constraints imposed by the dismal, endlessly reproduced, anonymous spaces of mass industrial growth, where even individual expression can be reduced to a series of repeatable actions and reactions.
