Sites of Encounter is composed of three short films that explore the intersection of spatial memory and architecture within virtual environments.
The story drifts in and out of a conversation, half-thought, half-confession, between a group of characters trying to make sense of contemporary labor conditions, unlocking fragments of collective memory in the silence of virtual space. Exiting the architectures of traditional labor—factories, offices, construction sites—they enter a new terrain of virtual work shaped by the metaverse, where the boundaries between play, production, and precarity are as messy as their love life.
Presented at Gallery Nova in three parts, the work creates a network of spatial encounters for viewers inside the gallery. Across its digital landscapes, the film maps a shifting ecology of labor, echoing the hollowed shells of privatized industry and the unfinished architecture of a society caught in transition.
