Lot Essay

‘It’s structured around a single individual, whom I imagined as being the last person on earth. He is in a state somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness, and he is travelling through a seemingly banal urban environment in the moments before nightfall. As he moves, the world around him -  a satellite dish, a trash bag spinning in the air, a blinking streetlight, a car window – begins to accelerate’
