Video art commissioned by The Atlantic to accompany Darran Anderson’s essay entitled Why Every City Feels the Same Now. The article concerned the importance of vernacular architecture in establishing the identity of a place and was published on August 24, 2020. Here is The Atlantic’s introduction to the article:
“If you’ve experienced going to a new city and feeling like you’ve been there before, you’re not alone. The anthropologist Marc Augé gave the name non-place to the escalating homogeneity of urban spaces. Darran Anderson writes that it’s time to break away from the same glass-and-steel monoliths and go back to embracing a city’s local architecture and the unique history, folklore and environment that goes along with it.”
