THIS SPACE AVAILABLE
WHO CONTROLS OUR PUBLIC SPACES?
WHO OWNS OUR ATTENTION?
WHO DECIDES?
BILLBOARDS AND COMMERCIAL SPACES dominate the public space like never before. Can we reverse this visual pollution? This Space Available looks at diverse activists from the worlds of advertising, street art, and politics. Influenced by the writing of Marc Gobé (Emotional Branding), his daughter Gwenaëlle directs with tremendous verve in her depiction of New Yorkers and others around the world who want to reclaim the integrity of their cities against an onslaught of visual pollution.
The film premiered to packed houses and press acclaim at the prestigious NYC DOC Film Festival.
