The Auntie City' depicts everyday life in the Auntieverse, a world both run and built by aunties. This world blends the ordinary with the extraordinary, filled with things aunties enjoy. The scenes include living quarters fashioned from stacks of Tupperware, sushi, and vegetables, alongside a vibrant depiction of city life viewed through building cross-sections. Here, both solitary aunties and groups interact with various creatures and city elements, walking around, socialising, and observing the hustle and bustle.
The concept of 'The Auntie City' draws inspiration from the 'walking city' idea by the 1960s British avant-garde architecture group Archigram. This concept envisaged a city capable of moving across land and water to utilise different resources and adapt to changing needs. In Auntieverse, this idea is manifested through buildings equipped with legs, making them mobile and adaptable.
Aunties in this world creatively envision cascading pools in mid-air, playgrounds, and connecting bridges in the midst of high-rise apartment blocks. The use of Tupperware in this segment symbolises both the pervasive nature of plastics in our lives and the fear of ageing and societal isolation.
