SKETCHES FROM MOABIT

Marc Augé coins the term "non-place" to spaces of transience, spaces that do not hold enough significance to be considered a place, where the human remains anonymous. These non-places, such as shopping malls, minimize human interaction to a mere exchange of goods and monetary transactions and reduce it to algorithmic-like articulations. The shopping mall contains fixed spaces for different stores. The largest space is usually reserved for the supermarket, where humans move around high shelves arranged in grids that induce a sense of being lost, all awash in artificial light that reflects in the plastic packagings.

Hide and Seek

David Callaway tries to piece together his life in the wake of his wife's suicide and has been left to raise his nine-year-old daughter, Emily on his own. David is at first amused to discover that Emily has created an imaginary friend named 'Charlie', but it isn't long before 'Charlie' develops a sinister and violent side, and as David struggles with his daughter's growing emotional problems, he comes to the frightening realisation that 'Charlie' isn't just a figment of Emily's imagination.
