Space Shift take place on the edge of the city near a motorway, where temporary housing units had been erected to provide support for those whose homes had been damaged by the flooding.
When I first arrived at the location, I was immediately struck by how the futuristic the setting appeared - the fluorescent lighting that glowed against the giant concrete structures at night felt reminiscent of the worlds captured in sci-fi manga comics or the sleeping capsules for the overnight businessmen in Japan. There was something otherworldly about the setting alongside a pervading sense of stillness that contrasted to the scenes of hysteria that had been portrayed in the media.
