2005 [The First] Experimental City [Belfast]
The First Experimental City {Belfast} takes
as its text the essay "Formulary for a New urbanism"
by Ivan Chtcheglov (1953) and its visual narrative
is reminiscent of the opening sequence of Les
Quatre cents coups (1959) : mapping the
topography of a city as a setting for real life
dramas and imagined developments.
