  • Concerto pour Infrastructures est une installation vidéo conçue en collaboration avec les départements IBA et Bauhaus-stage de la fondation du Bauhaus Dessau. Elle a été présentée à Wittenberg en septembre 2008, dans le cadre du congrès annuel organisé par le Bauhaus sur le thème: infrastructures et urbanité.
  • This video was conceived as part of a collaboration between the Bauhaus Foundation Dessau and Muoto Architects on the theme "Urbanity and Infrastructures". It offers an interpretation of the industrial and infrastructural landscape of the Saxony-Anhalt region in Eastern Germany, where heavy migrations towards western Germany has left large parts of cities and infrastructures abandonned. A mirror effect makes the landscape appear flooded. Water covers the ground, but reflects and reveals the sky. The video was originally shown as a series of 11 loops displayed on 11 screens. The regular rhythm of the videos played simultaneously intended to raise the feeling that infrastructures form together a mechanical orchestra rehearsing an abstract concerto.
