The Lounge @ Large

I helped my girlfriend with her final work last semester. She was in her final year studying Media in UNSW. Find it quite interesting, it may contribute to architecture thinking? Maybe hehe...

Basically, it tells a story about a lounge tries to find its identity and belonging, he sort of breaks out his home and explore a new world. It uses calymation, montage, and some other techinques, here is the outline.

Does a lounge have to belong to a place? If yes, where is it? Home, office, furniture shop or even street? Our persona doubts it. He leads a simple and boring life. Since he had memory, he was placed in the middle of a room and be seated all day long without warm care or any kind of excitements. He gets totally sick of the life he has and tries to break out. After painful struggling and numerous endeavors, he finally manages to get out and his dreaming world gradually opens up. What he finds? A splendid paradise with endless joy and lots of friends? Or a cruel reality that everyone leads a harder life? Is he happy with the outside world? Regret to come out? Or searching for new destination? Here we present, “the longue at large”…….

Some pakage pictures.
