Bricklayers Arms (2008)

Özet

‘Bricklayers Arms’ (2008) by Mark Lewis is a 35mm film, transferred to HD video. Appearing to simulate London’s CCTV surveillance system, while replicating a video game aesthetic, Lewis’ video is a slow zoom and pan of the street corner area immediately before a building. The camera’s sweep captures passers-by, traffic signage, handrails and barricades, area buildings and a bit of the street. The almost featureless modernist building centrally located in the frame is set against a row of London style tudor flats.
