For years, Californians have consistently identified homelessness as the state’s most pressing crisis. In 2024, the number of people living on the streets or in shelters reached a record high. The main causes of this heartbreaking situation are skyrocketing housing costs, untreated mental illness and widespread addiction. The evidence is impossible to miss: tents clustered under freeways, battered RVs lining streets that were once quiet, and people curled up in doorways at dawn.

This experimental video was filmed in the polluted waters of the Staten Island boat graveyard. This uncanny, desolate place is the final resting place of numerous wrecks of all varieties and several eras: ferries, barges, fishing boats, even old steam tugs. Their hulks slowly rot away in the mud of Arthur Kill, a refinery-lined inlet still busy with tankers. Located near New Jersey’s Chemical Coast, these now toxic shores were originally home to salt marshes, forests and freshwater wetlands.

This video is critical of environmental and urban developments. It explores the outskirts of some North American cities, which are all strangely similar and none of which feel like home. Their excessively wide, standardised and shapeless spaces generate a sense of uneasiness. Urban upheavals can transform even the most familiar places into unrecognisable, anonymous and forbidding spaces. On this blank slate, local memory is forever erased.
