THIS MUST BE THE PLACE
There's no place like home. It's where we live, work and dream. It's our sanctuary and our refuge. We can love them or hate them. It can be just for the night or for the rest of our lives. But whoever we may be, we all have a place we call home.
THIS MUST BE THE PLACE is a series of short films that explore the idea of…

We visited Josh Vogel of Blackcreek Mercantile & Trading Co. in late 2010 and kick started this year with a feature on the wood sculptor based in Kingston, New York. Our experience with him was so profound that we knew we had to pay another visit. This time, to document his story as part of our series. The result is nothing like we've ever done.

A Self-Sustaining, “Off the Grid” Location for Living, Working and Communicating
Live Station is a location for an individual to disconnect from the grid and reconnect to their humanity. As the information age progresses and technology becomes even more rooted in our everyday life, a place of escape, regeneration and contemplation is necessary. Nature and the absence of people then becomes the means to finding peace and quiet in the world, which in turn allows us to deal with society in a healthier manner.
Combined with this slowing down of time, also present is the ability to document the experience, catalog the ephemeral nature of a quickly changing planet and then reflect upon the research. The vessel itself will be off the grid and independent of societal pressures and needs. Constructed of salvaged and re-purposed materials, and powered by DIY technological devices, such as wind and solar, this station will be self-sustaining and
ultra-efficient.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
