Introduction:

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 certain world views: visions of the future and US-influenced promises of progress that didn't turn out to be the utopias they presented themselves as. Through a site-specific soundtrack, 16mm and 3D images, the spaces and their implications are subjectively mapped, poeticized and questioned. A poetic materialism of decay, renewal, remembering and projecting, CENTER, RING, MALL is perhaps a mourning, but one that desires and demands a rebirth.
