Ferdinand Kriwet

The mental crisis of an architect whose reflections on his commission to build a prison lead to the realization that the modern Western world is a single prison.

An attempt to fuse together the media sources Kriwet encountered on a trip to the US during the hubbub surrounding the Appollo 11 mission to the moon. Grainy television footage is cut and pasted together, paired with a soundtrack of radio broadcasts, sometimes allowed to flow, at other times cut down to single repeated words and looped announcements, to mesmeric effect.
