City Distortions is part of an ongoing investigation around power-hungry global cities and the environment. The mirrored footage suggests an uninhabitable city – a flooded metropolis – a reflection on the ever-impending threat of climate change. The work stems from a fascination with the centres that we construct, the forms they take and what they reveal about us, at a time when more than half of the world’s population live in cities, a proportion that is expected to rise to three quarters by 2050. The soundtrack composition, and improvisation on the live audio-visual remix version of the piece, is performed by Leon Michener. The mirrored space suggests an uninhabitable city - a flooded metropolis - or one that would have to be navigated in new ways. This piece explores city expansion, development and concerns for a sustainable future. #Architecture #artandarchitechture #ArtDeco #SPSetia #SimeDarby #RafaelVinoly #citie #cityscape #batterseaartscentre #london #globalwarming #HinkleyPoint #BatterseaPowerStn #nineelms #powerstation #jaykoe #LeonMichener http://ow.ly/fbAY305UXBB (at Latina -Roma)
