Sara Ludy’s video montages, Space Portraits, shows uncanny space through explorations of modernist architecture. While wandering through various architectures, Ludy photographs her journey while focusing on elements that resonate a sense of place. These photographs are later composed into an animated slideshow of transitions, evoking the liminal space between time, memory, and place. Otha is a space portrait of a prefab house in Second Life. The house is one of 11 prefab house models that exist on the island ‘Botha Architects’. Prefab houses are quite popular in Second Life, allowing a user to quickly move into a new virtual domestic lifestyle. The houses tend to be bare with little to no furniture leaving the architecture to become the subject of investigation.
