Synopsis
Jurgen Reble filmed a twelve-minute piece on the overhead railway in Chicago in 1991. Three years later, he revisited the footage, finding the images faded and vague. Using a bleaching bath, he manipulated the material, revealing the city's complex, cuboid architecture. The film captures a transformation as these structures dissolve into abstraction, reflecting a sense of disintegration. Reble's work presents a unique perspective on urban experience through the lens of memory and decay.
