16x (1987)

This film of constructivist composition, shot in Moscow in 1987 by two artists now based in New York, depicts a series of maps of tramway electrical wire networks framed by the sky, shot from below. Sometimes the top of a tram slides along the frame. The distances between the electrical cables across from the video camera introduce subtle contrasting variations between the black lines taht streak the neutral field, reducing the city to a geometric and dynamic construction.
