Just Like Us

A banal and familiar landscape comprised of box stores and parking lots proves a rich site for longing, intimacy, and radical change. Celebrities are observed in this environment and are reduced to ordinary beings in the process. An enigmatic protagonist reveals little moments of subjectivity that escape into the piece like a contaminant, rupturing the view and evidencing the paradox of connection and belonging within systems that simultaneously contain us and comprise us.

Presented on e-flux Film alongside Wherever You Go, There We Are (2017) as the June 2023 edition of Staff Picks featuring Jesse McLean.
