100vingt
Using a 'surveillance aesthetic', this video tracks 4 months in the life of a building on the corner of Van Horne and Parc avenue in Montréal. It explores the links between documenting the everyday, urban landscapes, and the pleasures of the banal. When the building is destroyed by fire, this surveillance-come-archive video inadvertently works to revive it.
100vingt is a video created specifically for small screen mobile display.
