About the Work

About the Work

Explanation

The artist witnessed the moment when the building collapses and captures the scene on camera. He first discovers a building that is about to be demolished and arranges a location for the filming. He becomes acquainted with the general manager, construction company employees, and daily workers on the construction site to hire them.

In doing so, he meticulously searches for possible filming locations and shoots ruins there. The work has a double meaning by juxtaposing a building that has already been almost destroyed and a building that is still intact but is about to collapse.
