1. Empty Vessel
Built in Sweden in 1979 and known by many names, one barge serves as troop barracks, a floating jail, and temporary factory housing as it moves through shifting jurisdictions. Following the Vessel’s changing roles and registrations, Empty Vessel uses this single object to explore offshore flags, modular shipping, and market-driven policies that reshape labor, law, and everyday lives across borders—offering a compact, spoiler-free look at globalization’s human and legal effects.
