All over NYC, one of the most seemingly crowded cities in the world, are empty spaces. Rooms that sit unoccupied, rooms that despite their surface stillness have deeply loud and complex personal histories. Empty spaces that endure- but for how much longer, and to what purpose?
This is one such space.
In this film, Kendra and I are investigating not only the quiet crisis of an empty space in a city, but also ideas of public displacement and private separation, and the architecture of a moment. And that moment can be five minutes can be years, unfolding in interlocking patterns of strength and fragility, of bright and dark, of what is and what is possible.
