Goin' Down The Road

An ongoing project that seeks to navigate the city of Toronto psychogeographically using popular films to propel the narrative forward. Relying on films’ inherent unfaithfulness to geography, a few dialogue cues, and a great deal of coincidence, scenes from disparate films intersect and redirect each other to follow geographic patterns rather than their individual stories. Compositing closely cropped professional footage over wide-angle, contemporary video allows for the emergence of a disjointed document that captures the growth of a city over several decades; distilling a small amount of truth from a growing library of fiction.
