Fall From Matavai, The

THE FALL FROM MATAVAI explores the remnants of past hopes and their grand ideals, which have long since been discredited by history. The fall, in this case is the collapse of modernism, the dream of mass democratised housing gone wrong. The camera treated as a 'life form'. Once turned on it records until it is eventually destroyed. The filmic cut is substituted by the crash, creating a structure where the even dictates its own end.
