Cost of Living is a video sculpture that embodies the angst of an age that normalizes precarity, through a living room locked in cycles of chaos and order. Within the space’s bounds its furnishings thrash about violently until lights flicker off and on to reveal them miraculously rearranged in tidy new configurations every time. Only after sustained attempts to shake up the room do its walls collapse and its furnishings break free—leaving behind a boundless white.
In collaboration with Luling Wang (score).
Cost of Living took a technique developed for Box Body (2023) and EMERGE:NCY (2023) to a new miniature scale. The production began with a 1:120 physical model reproducing the geometric architecture of the Piccadilly Lights screen, furnished with store-bought pieces of realistic dollhouse homeware. The entire unit was flailed about while filming in slow-motion with a custom camera rig.
