architecture and space.
Slow Space. 2006. 72min. 16mm
Slow Space takes the viewer on a visual trip through places of glass
architecture in filmed entirely within the urban constructed
environment of Chicago. Slow Space is a visually arresting investigation
into how space is described, defined and ultimately experienced.
The filmmaker commutes this relationship with the outside ‘world’ via
an array of constructed transparencies in the glass domes and atriums
that formed so much of architecture’s modernist preoccupation for a
constructed inside/outside dialectic.
Center of Urban Periphery. 2005. 43min. Video.
"What is public space today?" The filmmaker poses this question
at the beginning of his research with reference to the city of Hannover.
The resulting film takes the viewer on a trip through a number of
public spaces in Hannover´s metropolitan area. Devised as a series of
portraits with varying urban qualities,the film dwells not only on the visible
urban attributes but also on the activities and connectedness that ´make-up´
a public space. Undertaking an array of spatial explorations, the film seeks
to find out as to what kinds of interference or interventions can
activate public place(s). |
