Moscow

Overview

Shot on 16mm film black and white film (transferred to DVD), Mai Hofstad Gunnes’ work show establishing shots and close-ups of the skyscrapers, focusing in particular on the spires, which eventually take off from their solid fundament. Through digital animation in the manner of an early trickfilm, Moscow activates the possibility for alter-native imaginative worlds within an existing authoritarian structure, a thematic already embedded in the architectural foundation of the work.
