Brasilia

Work in progress, Video 4K, Stereo, 10 min, Brasilia

A street from above can be seen. Cars whiz by. We listen to barely recognizable snippets of conversation between the drivers. Suddenly the camera moves slowly upwards, a complex street structure is visible. As the highways get bigger, the conversations get longer. At some point the image slowly tilts upwards and it becomes recognizable that we are in a metropolis, the city of Brasilia.The capital of Brazil, created by Oscar Neumayer on the drawing board, has a crazy as well as highly complex (street) structure, which is repeated in every single 24 quarters. Only the bird‘s eye view allows to understand how the streets are arranged and what kind of drawing quality they have.
