Short film 

Duration

1 week

Today our human civilization is covered in cities and manmade landscapes, sky-touching skyscrapers and concrete jungle. but sunlight does penetrate through these jungles and touch the ground...

Between these concrete blocks the sunlight creates shadows, making contrasts as the sun moves from dusk to dawn it constantly interacts with our surrounding landscape, but we don't normally notice it ...

The purpose of this video is to show how we can encapsulate dynamic information ( time in this case ) in our modern landscape, with something which is out there for billions of years.

Our urban landscape can play the role of vertex point to give information in a very subtle manner.

Film shows how shadows create time inside our department,
Photos are take at the same time it's creating shadow of it
( for example if shadow is showing 4:00 then it's filmed at that time only. )
