Description
Tonight’s program offers shifting perspectives on the privacy of domestic space and its relation to the transience and decay of modern urban architecture. Discreet moments from the past, capturing the city’s excitement and vitality, are momentarily recovered and irrevocably lost. Memories of intimate, everyday routines are rendered in solitude while the flickering facades of buildings reverberate in a dust-enshrouded and dilapidated present. In Ben Rivers’ House, crumbling interiors, peeling walls and shattered windows are reoccupied by the history of horror cinema. Robert Todd’s Office Suite captures the ambience and daily rhythms of the filmmakers’ workspace. Arianne Olthaar’s Binnenverblijven (Zoo Enclosures) is a disturbing meditation on the primate “bathroom architecture” once popular in European zoos, while Michaela Grill and Martin Siewert’s Cityscapes is a lush fragmentation and optical dissection of archival imagery from the Austrian Film Museum.More Info
