Indivicracy is the tale of a vagrant future government emerging as the amount of individuals who must trespass territorial borders reaches unsustainable numbers. 

Presenting characters of a mobile collective that have forged a statehood without defined territory, Indivicracy engages with our current notions of ownership, borders and the implementation of democracy in a globally oriented society. The plot of the tale revolves around the initial legal constrictions that cause those involved to adapt a nomadic lifestyle, establish new traditions, and form the distinct custom of body-vehicles. The motivations that prompt the creation of this new system are revealed along a speculative timeline and illustrated in six chapters of state history. 

At its heart, Indivicracy mirrors the challenges caused by globalisation, technological evolution and political agendas that present the opportunity to refocus on displaced communities. Although marginalised today, migratory existence is most likely to increase over the next decades – the result of politically and environmentally caused diasporas, itinerant working conditions and technology-triggered changes in our behavioral patterns.
