Non-places
2-channel video, 6:56

Hotel room, train station, airport, underpass, metro, elevator. Cities are filled with transitory spaces that we pass without paying attention, mindlessly. The anthropologist Marc Auge defined them as non-places - spaces which man has no emotional connection to, which are never anyone’s final destination. They create the landscape of a city created by man, yet simultaneously completely alien to him, hostile, estranged. This film is a journey in search of a place, the anthropological one and the more metaphorical, personal one. Like non-places it is suspended in time and space. It hangs somewhere on the periphery. After all, the loneliness of a big city always happens among hundreds of people.

‘The rings of Saturn consist of ice crystals and probably meteorite particles describing circular orbits around the planet's equator. In all likelihood these are fragments of a former moon that was too close to the planet and was destroyed by its tidal effect’
