The Desert House, 2023

DIRECTED BY Marvin Kanas, Julia Obleitner, Helvijs Savickis

In the United States, there is a growing demand for prefabricated homes. These homes, customized online and assembled in a factory, are then lifted onto 18-wheelers and transported via the open road. This architectural phenomenon gives rise to new rural communities that can appear overnight, though often at the expense of traditional ways of building. Giving the illusion of independence, the house that moves unsettles the meaning of home, transforming dreams of stasis into ones of mobility.
