Three temples were located in the same space: one for Leisure, another for Worship and the last for Consumption. This approach behind a massive collective event reveals the beating heart of capitalism; examining how human beings in their fragility are transformed into human devices through the Olympics process of reimagining their placement. Come un imponente caleidoscopio attraverso il quale cerchiamo una possibile narrazione, nascosta intorno a tre luoghi: uno stadio, il centro commerciale più grande d’Europa e una piccola chiesa alternativa ospitata in una ex officina. The film is an urban odyssey; initially exploring place as a phenomenon of global postcolonial heritage, and moving towards an era of artificialised, yet primitive high technology. Through this invesigation, cinema acts as a tool, with the purpose of becoming an instrument of knowledge.Ci sono persone che abitano intorno a questo spazio, vivendo dentro a questo magma di cambiamento. Persone con pensieri che riguardano l’austerità, i templi, il lusso, i servizi coinvolti e il senso di comunità. Siamo stati dentro a questo ambiente, nel mezzo di un’apocalisse capitalista che si nasconde dietro a un dito; ci si può perdere in questo Tempio d’oro. |
