The New York Phenomenology, Urban Energy Strategies 1976

Directed by Bettina Grossman

A rehearsal, a proposal, an experiment. Sketching out the initial ideas and reflections for an upcoming film project, still in the making, before it becomes the next big trend. Nostalgic yet strange images define this moment in time, while offering a glimpse into my chaotic research and its perspectives. A mother, a daughter, shoes, clothes, a dusty gate opening and closing six times a week for nearly 30 years. The story has been waiting to be told from the very beginning.
