Kino-Cine-Bomber

Autumn 2016 | Spring 2017

In-between production and consumption, we as a studio presented a mobile cinema project as an art intervention to re-envision cities. We redeploy Vertov’s kinesthetic sensibilities through filmic projection, mobilizing cinema in unexpected or “uncanny” ways, to de-familiarize familiar urban spaces. Using the city as screen or projection surface, the kino-cine-bomber bridges the production and consumption of leisure spaces in the city, creating disruptions in urban space. We refer to the apparatus as a “bomber” through a focus on subtraction of the redundant architectural spaces of Leeds and Coventry – both cities heavily bombed in World War II, then rebuilt, which we “bomb” again, this time with film projections.
