Built in Blender and Unreal Engine, this work places players inside a hyperrealistic club bathroom cubicle covered in latrinalia — the drawings, confessions, and messages left anonymously on toilet walls. The digital environment uses immersive visuals and spatial sound design to dissolve the boundary between observer and inhabitant, encouraging players to engage with the space as if they truly occupy it.
Once inside, players can photograph the walls, leave their own comments, and uncover the intentions behind existing marks, glimpsing the interior lives of those who passed through before them. The accompanying physical installation extends this into the tangible: visitors add their own marks to a real wall, watching their contribution collage alongside others into a shared, evolving diary. Together, the digital and physical layers ask different things of their audience. The screen invites self-reflection; the wall invites touch, presence, and trace. Both refuse hierarchy — any identity, any experience, belongs here equally.
Rooted in research into ephemeral interaction and liminal space, Latrinalia argues that the margins of nightlife culture — ungoverned, unpolished, and deeply human — are quietly among the most honest sites of connection we have.
