Description: | The film consists in a silent, statically shot, single close-up view of an urban sidewalk in a populated street of London. Passersby come and go to the left of a post transformed into an ephemeral memorial – a type of cenotaph that has come to punctuate our urban environments in recent years. The post stands there, immutable, with a bouquet of withered roses attached to it as well as a bluish poster of a young woman who must have died there after being hit by a vehicle. As time goes by a strip of sunlight starts to flicker on the surface of the post and the invisible presence of cars occasionally interrupts its presence. The film ends with the post becoming partially dark again. |
