ALL THAT IS SOLID

ALL THAT IS SOLID, 16 min, 16mm to HD, 2014

All That Is Solid investigates Brutalist architecture through the surface of black and white 16mm film.
The film features three locations: Robarts Library, The University of Toronto Scarborough campus (UTSC) and the Ross building at York University. Footage of the buildings has been degraded using a number of chemical and physical processes.
The film explores the utopian visions that inspired the Brutalist movement and the material and aesthetic connection between concrete and celluloid.
