Metronome is the first short video in Mass Transient, a research strand of the project The City at a Time of Crisis, which can be viewed here www.crisis-scape.net. Mass Transient is an ethnographic study of spaces of mass transit in Athens - and beyond: it is a study that seeks to reveal the ever-growing antagonisms and tensions in these quintessential spaces of the everyday, as the crisis deepens.
Metronome. by Ross Domoney Metronome is the first short video in Mass Transient, a research strand of the project The City at a Time of Crisis, which can be viewed here www.crisis-scape.net. Mass Transient is an ethnographic study of spaces of mass transit in Athens — and beyond: it is a study that seeks to reveal the ever-growing antagonisms and tensions in these quintessential spaces of the everyday, as the crisis deepens. At this historical conjuncture, buses, trolleys and metro carriages become the primary public spaces: on the one hand moving around are the ‘fallen angels’ of the bourgeois dream, and on the other, those swirling through the city are the undocumented, seeking survival. A close, meticulous reading of these spaces can help us understand how the transitory flux of a society in turmoil becomes a galvanized reality; how a transient mass becomes critical. www.crisis-scape.net Produced by Ross Domoney & Antonis Vradis Directed by Ross Domoney Research by Antonis Vradis Cinematography, editing & sound mix by Ross Domoney Assistant editing by Antonis Vradis
