A short film about the Oval Office. Not the one that exists, but the countless versions that circulate, refract, and multiply. Few enter the room itself, yet everyone carries an image of it shaped by news cycles, film stills, political theater. The project begins with this paradox: the most recognizable interior in America is, for most, a mediated fiction.
The film visualizes this by producing an infinite array of Oval Offices, each one belonging to a different perception. Rooms collapse into rooms, copies into copies, until the original is indistinguishable. Architecture here is both stage set and political instrument. It reveals how architects, willingly or not, become complicit in producing images that sustain culture, authority, and power.
