VideoStore
VideoStore was an immersive transformation of space that positioned gallery work in the context of a 1980s video rental store. The store was staffed with employees that acted as original characters to guests. VideoStore brings you along to unravel the story surrounding the employees, the manager, and a malevolent monster.
