Deconstruction of a Type P2 slab building in Wohnkomplex 8 (Residential Complex 8), Hoyerswerda Neustadt. A camera mounted on the bucket of the excavator films the demolition, moving with the bucket. The bucket swings and gouges. In the film, the rubble seems to defy gravity as it falls out of the frame. The image dissolves in the dust of demolition; the projection goes white. A second camera, mounted in the cab, films the operator’s face as the building is torn down. This is the counterview to the first camera. The operator’s face reveals his intense concentration, each tiny move standing in contrast to the sweeping movements of the demolition. Video projection on two opposing screens.
