urban tetris

Stop motion Animation, 1’30’’ 4k color video with sound

Vienna, 2022

In the age of rapid construction urban development is like playing a game. With the ever-increasing urban population, the need for a dwelling constantly rises, and to meet the housing demand that buildings are constructed at an ever-increasing speed.

urban tetris depicts the rapid construction that starts with strict planning at first with a chronological order of several architectural cutout buildings including Bauhaus, art nouveau, modernism and brutalism in a stop motion style.

The video ends with a playful game-over prompt to rhetorically ask what will be the end for the rapid urbanization on the edge of the climate crisis.
