Synopsis
‘First Move’ is the first station of a lost city, a thought held in the mind, an action suspended, a splicing of time, an aspiration lost, a dream about to begin.
‘First Move’ is one of a series of montages using found postcards, photographs and video or still image documentation of construction sites. As part of our everyday we have been encountering many large scale construction sites and master planned schemes. During the construction phase these sites seem to hold many possibilities in their ‘incompleteness’. They are catalysts for a roaming imagination. As the construction progresses the possibilities are closed down as the building becomes closed in.
‘First Move’ retains a state of temporariness as a state of need, inviting new meaning and narratives, and rupturing the
autonomy of the final, realized building.
