Doug Aitken's *Cul de Sac* is an immersive installation that explores themes of stasis, circularity, and the psychological undercurrents of modern life. The work draws viewers into a looping, self-contained environment that evokes both the suburban landscape and a sense of existential entrapment. Through Aitken's signature layering of image, space, and experience, the piece challenges perceptions of movement and dead ends in contemporary culture.
