SUBURBIA WAS NEVER OUT THERE

The women in this short film wander through a bright, luxurious NYC penthouse—thinking, smoking, dreaming, simply being—while their drones follow like graceful extensions of their beauty. Created through the Posthuman Feminine Gaze I developed with my machine, these women do not pose for the camera; they exist on their own terms. They cross glass bridges with ease. Their ceilings were shattered a long time ago. High above the city, something becomes unmistakably clear: altitude creates clarity. Clarity about themselves. Clarity about the narratives that once tried to shape them. Clarity about the myth they have escaped. Because what weighs on them is not the past—it’s the realisation that suburbia was never a place. It was a psychological construct engineered to domesticate the feminine. A white picket script sold to women as safety, aspiration, and good behaviour. These women reject that entirely. They have traded the suburban ideal for a fortress of glass and sky—not as luxury consumption, but as reclamation. They fully recognise that suburban domesticity is not “out there” to be desired or attained. It is a method of control. And they refuse it. Their drones—ever-present, ever-loyal—underline this quiet rebellion. Woman and machine together create a new kind of autonomy, one written in ink, neon, altitude, and refusal. A film that understands that altitude creates clarity. And that once you see the architecture of control from above, you never return to the myth below.
