The Other Orange

Author: redactie redactie

A video that documents, from a distance of another city, the physical and social existence under the circumstances of ‘urban melancholy/solitude', in a city with a continuous heed about its 'image’. It is an ever changing space where the physical intersects with the social under new variable spatial guidelines that exoticize the city in the eyes of its inhabitants. Amsterdam is in constant worry to keep up with its “postcard” image.<br /><br />by <b>Hassan Choubassi</b>, Editing <b>Vartan Avakian</b>
