Video made in New York, during a three-month postgraduate degree at the International Center of Photography (ICP) between October and December 2015, and two weeks in November 2016.

Having lived only in small provincial towns before this post-graduation, I was particularly surprised to find myself in this gigantic, monstrous metropolis, with a huge flow of people, energy, money. His enormous constructions, the different strata of recent history that pile up and remain visible, like layers of paint first price.

I observed a dialectic of construction and deconstruction, power and fragility.

To account for this, I used an animation technique that I developed, by diverting the tools from photoshop, to make the animation image by image.

I wanted to create a massive object, like the city, an hour.
