Rejective Space is a response to the current housing crises in Ireland and the contradiction of the low availability of housing in some of the fastest-growing cities in Europe, like Dublin and Cork. Employing 3D video animation and digitally generated sound the viewer travels through an abstract landscape of architectural fragments in an alienated void. The modern glass and concrete constructions seem soulless, unfinished and appear as empty shells in a non-habitable space that purely seems to serve a capitalist purpose. 

The work presents the city as a distant place, reduced to its shapes and forms. Featuring elements that imitate animated city planning models, the moving image intends to represent technological development and artificiality. Playing with glass and concrete as the two main materials of modern architecture it utilises these as an embodiment of the housing crisis evoking feelings of distress and anxiety. Along with the visual elements, a digitally generated soundscape, consisting of five individual pieces, adds a multisensory dimension of space. This non-visual aspect invites the viewer to experience architecture as a complex sensory phenomenon. Creating its own futuristic and alienated psychological space, the work draws a connection between real space and emotional space, where buildings appear as dysfunctional objects rather than active living spaces.
