The video ‹Chongqing› is an animation of over 200 photographs. Cutouts from the sky, framed by modern skyscrapers, shot in Chongqing, a megacity in the southwest of China. The images move to the sound of the Yangqin, an old traditional Chinese instrument. The rough buildings start to dance, showing different prespecives from the sky. Sometimes narrower, sometimes brighter.
The video starts with clear, structured movements. By time the rhythm gets more and more disturbed by different noises and experimental sounds. The animation becomes slower, freezes, gets nervous, jerks, speeds up or completely disappears in black.
A dance of steel, sometimes smooth and soft, sometimes aggressiv or threatening apocalyptic.
