Film Lens

Devil's Circuit
Devil's Circuit is a film that features a 60-story skyscraper rotating at high speed. The film captures this unique architectural feat by centering its circumference, which has a radius of 400 to 500 meters, around the skyscraper. The filmmaker divided the circumference into 48 sections, allowing for a systematic approach to photographing the structure. The film consists of a total duration of 8 minutes, presenting a series of frame-by-frame photographs taken from each of the designated spots. This methodical technique creates a visual experience that emphasizes the skyscraper's dynamic movement against the backdrop of the urban landscape.
