The Occidental Hotel
NR 26 minOct 5th, 2014
The Occidental Hotel is a city filmI was inspired to emulate the Surrealists sense of wandering of flaneury of the way a hotel and its rooms is a temporary resting place inhabited by many many people a shared publicprivate space I am interested in a creative geography of the city Ive constructed For instance the front of the hotel is from Berlin its interior was photographed in Copenhagen The film offers the elliptical scent of espionage films largely because of its Berlin locations and offers that genres lubricating sense of voyeurism danger and sexuality My source materials are Mexican comicbook figures and these urban photos I snapped on my honeymoon with my wife Janie Geiser in the summer of 1996 Lewis Klahr
