Tomato Sauce Takeaway is a four minute short film, shot in Johannesburg, South Africa. The film documents the final evening routines of a few urban life forms in Johannesburg city. It does so in a way that is observational, introspective and personal given our own relations to space, routines and urban loneliness. The mundanity of these acts highlights an absurdity in the city life routines we take for granted. The people and the city itself become characters in a narrative of the last things we do before retreating to residential respite.

Terrace House is a Johannesburg based artist collaboration between Abi Meekel, Riley Pam-Grant and Claire Meekel that began in early 2017 with an immersive video and sound installation titled "The Blue Exhibition". They predominantly but not exclusively work in video, light and sound installations. Since the collaboration's inception, Terrace House has exhibited "The Blue Exhibition" twice in Johannesburg, with the first iteration at a trendsetting club and exhibition space called Glory, and then again at the Fak'ugesi African Innovation Festival. In January 2018, Terrace House exhibited "The Blue Exhibition" in a solo show at Gallery MOMO Cape Town. Their most recent video and sound installation titled "Monument" was also shown at Gallery MOMO Cape Town in July 2018 as part of the gallery's forth annual video exhibition, Transmissions, and again in Johannesburg where they were invited to show "Monument" in launching the 99 Juta design showrooms space situated in Braamfontein, which is the cultural melting pot of Johannesburg. The short film, Tomato Sauce Takeaway, was filmed in 2018 and has not been screened as of yet.
