THE APARTMENT

For a couple of years now I’ve been developing a series of works that engage, each in different ways, with what I propose to call  filmic architecture. In these works, I explore the relationships between scale models, sets, architecture, and the moving image. Starting point is was the question: would it be possible to do a remake of a film with a set that would allow one to do so in one single shot? How to translate the combination of spaces, montage and shifts in size and angle as we see them in the film into the actual spatiality of a set that would allow one to shoot the film in a single continuity without the cut and paste of montage?

The Apartment is a reconstruction of the main location in Roman Polanski’s Repulsion (1965) For the Apartment the set of of the main location is reconstructed in such a way that one could make a remake of this scene, but in one single shot.

The Apartment was produced as a part of the BNG Project Prize for Workspace 11
