    “Haddad’s The Beautiful Room is Empty explores the loaded memories of space through his aunt, Marie, (re)visiting her childhood home and recalling the abuse she endured there.

Originated on a garage sale super 8 camera and reprocessed to a pixelated-artifact level, a woman wears the proverbial lampshade on her head as the last guest at a party of one.
