2025 PCM

A site-specific new-media film and visual art installation for unconventional surfaces

This newly commissioned work by award-winning artist duo X+J was selected via an open call this summer to be presented in the Kakilang 2025 Season.

These large-scale art installations satirise the growing impossibility of securing a stable home, using humorous visuals to subvert the idyllic fictions of domestic life so often found in media. £2,025 PCM embodies the generational dissonance of increasing isolation, burn-out, and the rising cost of living.

Responding to the encroaching structural determinism of contemporary life and London’s housing crisis, the work innovates at the intersection of immersive media, experimental 3D film production, and physical performance for unconventional surfaces across the city.

The project features casket-sized flats fully equipped with miniature furniture and unsettling rent price tags, with performers struggling through daily routines inside—strikingly projected onto prominent spaces around London.
