NR 3 min
The film consists of a tracking shot across one of the biggest housing projects 400 meters long ever made in France Located on a hill in the city of Nancy this project by Bernard Zerfuss is an idealistic gesture typical of the 60s a project between land art and architecture that would soon be stigmatized among other giant projects and considered a mistake in many ways The film was made ten years before the building project would be transformed to a shortened proposal Half of it was turned downThe curves and the wavy moving image due to the fact that the onride video was shot by the artist riding a bicycle give the film a sense of fluidity and vertigo The soundtrack is a Kate Bush song played backwards emphasizing the rubbing like feeling in the image like being in a melancholic nightmare
