A multi-vocal triptych through peripheral sites of urban infrastructure: a data center, a ring road, and a run-down mall. All three sites were built with a certain worldview, different visions of the future and the US-influenced promises of progress that turned out not to be the utopias they presented themselves as. These spaces and their implications are subjectively mapped, poeticized, and questioned through multilingual texts, a site-specific soundtrack, 16mm film, and 3D images — a poetic materialism of decay, renewal, remembering, and projecting. The work is perhaps a mourning that desires and demands a rebirth.
