Build/Unbuild. Yesterday at Program, Kino Satellite and Britta Wagner organized a film screening that revolved around demolishing buildings. Not only contemporary artists like Reynold Reynolds (not to mention Cyprien Gaillard) are dealing with the subject. The footage showed very nicely how early filmmakers (see above a film from 1901) have been fascinated by the force with which a building can be undone. Many of them experimented with reversing the film material, thus making the demolition undone and thus reconstructing the building anew. What is it that we find so appealing about watching and re-watching modern ruin-making?
