Artist Chiemi Shimeda talks to filmmaker Morgan Quaintance and cultural sociologist Laura Harris about Quaintance's film Available Light.

Available Light

  • Director: Morgan Quaintance
  • Year: 2025

Available Light explores notions of home and belonging in contemporary society. Comprising interviews with workers at the Edo Tokyo Open Air Architecture Museum in Tokyo, and fragments of conversations with renters in that city and London, a productive dialectic opens between the museum’s preserved historical ideal of the domestic and the often unsettling realities of temporary accommodation in modern cities. Combining trademark immersive sound design with impressionistic images and abstractions, Quaintance crafts an austere, oneiric and subtly affecting portrait of residential precarity.
