The imagined city as a simulation takes over the real one. Desire and reality meet creating a new space with its own rules. Ever sprawling suburban areas, anonymous landscapes generated by computers, places with no memory, landmarks, residential projects. Staged scenery for action to take place. Mostly filmed in London, Meeting Point is a study of urban space and of its representations, the virtuality of contemporary public space and landscape.
