Abstract geometric compositions created by filming skyscrapers on 8mm film. Reduced to a series of lines and regular shapes, they run across the screen, ranging from precise symmetricity to unsettling fluctuations that give off an impression of constant motion in which the viewer-pedestrian is an awestruck observer. The urban landscape is defined by heights and motion; buildings bury the streets and the horizon, filling up all empty space. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
