On April 1, 2023, I came across this hidden space, and had it 3D scanned. It was a stinky narrow space between two buildings. Used daily objects were scattered around on a concrete staircase. An iron frying pan, plastic bowls, recycled plastic bags, a white polystyrene box,  a worn cardboard box, hooks, fresh vegetables wrapped in a plastic bag, beer cans, brushes, dish soap bottles, a broken ladder, a lonely plant... A storage space for an unpolished unpretending lifestyle. 

As if to contrast, the street side of the two neighboring buildings was turned into store areas, and both the interiors and the facades were remodeled for mellow young weekend shop-goers. Bold daring colors and elevated designer objects extruded and jumped in front you, making it real easy to overlook the neighboring shabby storage area. However, at the same time, it was also hard not to notice it. 

After having it 3D scanned, I transformed the space into a digital diorama, contained in an arcade claw machine. The space was buried under hundreds of fancy commodity objects. To see the space, you will need the patience to play the claw machine, for free.
