I want a big house



Living in the digital age, we are surrounded by spectacles that are constructed by culture and media. The narrative explores the journey of us being engaged with the online property market, then harsh real life reveals it was not as imagined.

By referring to Walter Benjamin’s idea on how images would increase in value based on our imagination, in this case, the value of the simulation that we saw is increased by our subjective fabrication. In the contemporary age, we are favouring in adding a frame to the image that we would like to present.
