non-places

6:56, 2022

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.

Orbiting

2:32, 2021

‘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’
