The Cities of Eden
Synopsis
Reconstructed from turn-of the century footage, an ironic vision of high industrial pomp and pageantry - in substantial shadows of ancient prerogatives engulfed by history. Original historic footage from eras long past is rendered as 'bas relief' in changing sepia tones of photo-textural kind which ends in fiery infernos of image and destruction.
