The video shows the point of view of no-one in particular, or perhaps multiple entities, switched without the viewers notice. The camera wanders through an environment made up of 3D scanned environmental formation from undisclosed real-world places, out of scale and assembled into a estranged theme-park like world. Populated by found stock assets, appearing meaningless, but nevertheless hint at some kind of narrative inscribed into their arrangement, it shows a virtual life-world, commercially produced and designed for everyone / noone particular.
