[excerpt/stills]
16mm film transferred to digital/ Sound/ 7 mins - ongoing/ 2021.
Inspired by the opening scene of Andrei Khrzhanovsky’s 1972 animation The Armoire and Berthe Morisot’s painting The Artist’s Sister at a Window, a half-surreal city of Addis Ababa is shape-shifting and fracturing outside a window. Made using footage taken of the city over several years combined with hand-drawn stop motion animation. This documentary-style film essay contemplates the accelerated fever for urban transformation.
