The Infinite Interior

What happens when we find ourselves in the city, commonly defined by human density, cohabitation, communication and movement, suddenly forced to experience it as a complete paradox? Urban activities that we've till now considered commonplace and routine have been abruptly transformed in the most radical way and left us rushing to find alternatives. We've all found ourselves in need of a new tool for human connection when the familiar ones have been impeded.

Drawing on my own experience of isolation as well as those of other people, I've created a collection of views gathered from various Londoners. I asked of them to film what they saw through their window. Thus, the position of observation was consistent, while the choice of subject and people to film varied as it was theirs to make. I treated this unusual situation as a filmmaker as an opportunity to start a conversation about isolation, that is not only social, but spatial, in order to question the role that architectural elements play in our quarantined lives.

Once collected, I’ve edited these fragments of observation into one fictional space – an infinite interior from which to gaze at the world outside. The film you’re about to see explores an alternative way of experiencing the city in isolation. Curiously, it portrays a sort of freedom that can be found in a fictional journey; a travelling of the mind through the faculty of sight and the power of imagination.
