A hybrid of experimental documentary, personal film, and music video, COMMUTE is an immersive audio-visual installation, focusing a lens on the interlaced magic and horror of contemporary city life. Filmed and recorded in Berlin’s U-Bahn during the 2020-2022 lockdowns, COMMUTE presents a haunted and horrifying public space in which all connections are confused, shut down, or failing.

As society becomes increasingly virtual, what happens to the public spaces that we leave behind? Who and what are “we” and our shared surroundings when we only experience ourselves as “I”? In the wake of an event like the pandemic, which catalysed our transition to the virtual, how do we re-establish a connection to the bodies, spaces, and sounds around us?

Utilising four video projections, 360' ambisonic sound, and an immersive installation space, COMMUTE leads its audience into six fragmented public environments to help each viewer reflect upon their relationship to their surroundings and fellow commuters. Come experience the first ever U.S. showing of this subterranean, subconscious transit at Coaxial Arts, DTLA from August 20-22, 2023.
