CONCRETE : BOSTON CITY HALL

by Wenhua SHI new filmmaker
2021 / color / sound / 1S / 24' 00

During the pandemic, drones flying over the empty city became an over-saturated media coverage fixed our imagination into one way of reading a city/ space. I return to the idea of “ma” empty or open spaces (interval or pause in time). The newest piece, titled CONCRETE: BOSTON CITY HALL, was created with this additional perspective and creates a contrast to legendary documentary filmmaker, Frederick Wiseman’s four-hour long film, CITY HALL.
Here I try to present the meditational quality of the empty city hall. The project was presented by local art organization Non-Event with support from MCC (the Massachusetts Cultural Council).
