Marina Roy | Abbas Akhavan
VIVO Media Arts
1965 Main Street
Interior spaces and social movements are paralleled in Marina Roy’s Apartment (2008). As the animation unfolds, opulent rooms deteriorate and a virus invades the building, triggering anxieties of monoculture and biopower. Abbas Akhavan, after assisting in the animation of Apartment, developed a video sculpture called Neighbors (2008), which alludes to housing problems in Vancouver, where rapidly expanding high-rises house absent international investors, pushing local communities to the peripheries and giving way to a vacant, high-security skyline.
