It contains recreated views of the exhibition’s three components (the Lobby, the Screening Room, and the Interviews), and added clips that reformat the exhibition content for online viewing.

    Impostor Cities

    MOCA Toronto
    The world we live in is the global generic city we experience together onscreen. Impostor Cities is about architectural identity and faking it, exploring the ways Canada’s buildings and cities double as other places in film and television. Through clips, video interviews, and green-screen opportunities, this multimedia project is a playful critique of cultural self-presentation, examining movies as powerful sites of architectural experience, expression, and authenticity.
