Berlin 2013 / 1983

The Canadian artists Daniel Young and Christian Giroux are presenting the two channel cinematic installation Berlin 2013 / 1983. It produces a window in both Berlin’s contemporary production of new buildings and that of one human generation ago. As a radical materialist approach to architecture and urban studies, their work functions as a study of style. Shooting across Berlin from edge to edge of the city’s limits, the artwork functions as both a rigorous derive and showing of how a city absorbs its architectural production over time.
