Projected City

Projected City is an exploration of Canberra's brutalist architecture and the big ideas that have driven the city's design, many of which have resulted in compromise and failure. It explores the triumph of modern architectural ideals and the decay and decline of buildings and ideas from this period of history.

Created with Localjinni's Fiona Hooton and Catrina Vignando, the film is a colourful concoction of projection, animation and the built environment. The film features photographs taken by participants of a workshop I tutored at PhotoAccess in 2023, and additional images by Catrina Vignando and Maryanne Humphreys.

Finalist in the experimental category at the Canberra Short Film Festival in 2024.
