Enclosure is an immersive film installation that explores a culture where technological advancement has outpaced our ability to make sense of it. 

Set within a decaying facility that once allowed tourists to inhabit replicas of other people, Enclosure unfolds over a single day known as Founding Day, the annual window in which Donors must renew or terminate their corporeal doubles, known as Cherubs. When the protagonist, Mercy, a starlet who lent her likeness to the programme, arrives to terminate her double, the ritual intended to sever their connection instead draws them closer — until the line between them disappears entirely.

At its core, the work asks what happens when systems built on desire and self-preservation outlast the conditions that created them. In a world where meaning erodes faster than systems can adapt, Enclosure presents maintenance as a form of denial, as institutions, technologies, and individuals persist in upkeep beyond its purpose.

The film will premiere within a large-scale installation at Somerset House’s Lancaster Rooms. The Installation extends Enclosure into a large-scale Immersive environment where audiences move through the material remains of the facility — fairground signage, holograms, inflatable cocoons, decaying ephemera — a world still performing long after the system it served has collapsed.
