Appropriation of the demolition of Pruitt-Igoe in synchronisation with the elegiac sound of Erik Satie.
The Pruitt-Igoe housing project was one of the first demolitions of modernist architecture and its destruction was claimed by postmodern architect Charles Jencks to mark, "the day Modern Architecture died." (Charles Jencks. The Language of Post-Modern Architecture. Rizzoli. 1977. Page 9.)

...emotive.. what is the background track?

Mi è apparso nei video consigliati perchè ho guardato un'opera di Cyprien Gaillard, videoartista. Ma è abbastanza ovvio, almeno per me, che è l'arte a interessarmi, non le demolizioni controllate, visto il numero di video sull'arte che guardo. Difficile da capire?

@Nanniof1 Hello there! I also lived in Pruitt Igoe 60's and 70's on Jefferson and Cass ave. The video's bring back nightmare's for me. I plane to make my pilgrimage back to the area someday. That area will always be haunted by the murder's and abomination's that happend there. You can't really understand unless you lived there. So I know that you know what I mean.

meh...Philip Glass' Pruitt Igoe piece fits it better...the decay of mankind to suit the decay of what they build.
