By looking up “Victoria” online on Wikipedia, observing the landscape of the city, visiting the church, talking with the priests, visiting the old factory, interviews with the local inhabitants and also young people who have returned, the city unfolds a multi-layered image to us. Each layer is represented by a unique perspective of different people, different times, and different politics. Each perspective holds their individual story and understanding of the city, which altogether forms the beauty of Victoria.

By taking into account different perspectives of local, historical, official and the first impression we had of Victoria, we aim to create a new way of understanding what creates the identity of a utopian city like Victoria.
