CENTER, RING, MALL

_{Available worldwide except Switzerland}

Synopsis

An immersive architectural film poem narrated by disembodied voices. Center, Ring, Mall offers perspectives on three urban structures, each representing the illusion of utopian promise. The viewer is drawn into a realm of sensualised concrete matter and abstract textures where 16mm grain expressively juxtaposes 3D images of paused time.
