In Cyprien Gaillard's groundbreaking video "Desniansky Raion," a view of Belgrade's futuristic town gate opens a triptych where architecture embodies the failure of the modernist social utopia in a brilliant, fascinating demonstration: an epic fight between hooligans in a Russian suburb; a grandiose lightshow preceding the destruction of a habitation tower near Paris; and a breathtaking flight over a circular ensemble of Ukrainian buildings somewhat reminiscent of a concrete, monumental version of Stonehenge. Projected on a New York building at sunset, the dramatic beauty of the large-scale images will act as a counterpoint to the city's path toward gentrification. Acclaimed musician Koudlam, a long-time collaborator of Gaillard, will provide his adrenaline-pumping live music to accompany the screening. Presented by Performa and The Kitchen.
