The film as a recorded light transforms the forms of the city. The screenshots indicate to changing forms of the city, which are generated by the use of the media of the film. Thus, the film creates masks of the city, hiding and simultaneously revealing its elements. The film, the recorded light, contains the forms of the city, which as a projection of light will be reconstructed on the surfaces it meets. According to the kind of surface the projection hits, the recorded forms can be transformed again. If instead of a wall, another projection of light meets the projection, the projection of light will be suspended in this space of the encounter. The encounter space is constructed as a series of screens of city forms generated from the screenshots, which are time layers. This encounter space reconstructs the recorded city forms revealing the essence of time and its relationship with the physicality and the content of the film.
