125-WORD SYNOPSIS
Slow Space is a film journey through places of glass architecture in
Chicago. Street scenes and interviews complement this essay on public
and private spaces.
Slow Space is a film and art project by Klaus W. Eisenlohr. With his
project in Chicago, the artist has investigated the relationship
between the body and the urban architectural environment over the time
period of three years. Searching the anomalies of the normal, the
filmmaker traces a 'Desire for Modernity' in the city's architecture
being shaped by pre- and postmodern forces.
In addition, the film discusses the topic of public space in American
cities through interviews with the Chicago artists and filmmakers
Deborah Stratman, Chris Harris, Gretchen Till, Ken Fandell, Thomas
Comerford and Eduardo Pradilla.
250-WORD SYNOPSIS
Slow Space is a film journey through places of glass architecture in
Chicago. Street scenes and interviews complement this essay on public
and private spaces.
Slow Space takes the viewer on a visual trip through the city of
Chicago without showing streets or plazas like we have seen in travel
guides. Instead, the journey goes through places roofed and lit by
glass architecture: Garfield Park Conservatory, Juvenile Court,
Merchandise Mart, Cumberland Station, Nature Museum, Westside Future,
César Chavez Elementary School, Tower Condominium, Jackson Academy,
Lincoln Park Conservatory, a private living room, Gran Hyatt Regency
and some other places. Scenes set in open urban space and interviews
filmed in private homes complement this passage through public and
private places.
