CITIES

RDAM

Rdam is the first video of a project call “Cities”. We are visiting cities around europe and are building artistic portrait of each city. Through design, arhitecture and art we aim to give a short look into the contemporary of those cities.

IT IS MORNING IN ROTTERDAM, THE DAY IS SHAKING OF THE NIGHT, LIKE A DOG DOES WITH WATER.

I CAN SEE THE RIVER FROM MY WINDOW, A LAZY REFLECTION OF THE SUN.

IS NOT RAINING TODAY, BUT I HEAR THE WIND.

BIKES CUT TROUGH THE SILENCE, TRAMS ARE BEGINNING THEIR LOOP.

THE SKY BREAKS OPEN AND LIGHT HITS THE WET PAVEMENT.

NOTHING FANCY, JUST REAL.

THIS IS MY CITY: RAW, FAST, MODERN.

BUT ALWAYS FAMILIAR, LIKE A SONG YOU NEVER HEARD BUT ALREADY KNOW BY HEART.

ROTTERDAM DOESN’T WAKE UP ALL AT ONCE, IT GROWS UNTIL SUDDENLY IT’S ALIVE.

WHAT MAKES A CITY?

A CITY IS SOUNDS.

NOISE.

VOICES, WIND, WATER.

MOVEMENT.

A FLASH OF COLOR.

THE LIFE OF THE DAY, THE PULSE OF THE NIGHT.

SHAPES.

A CITY IS TIME.

TIME IS TRANSFORMATION, TRANSFORMATION MAKE STORIES.

STORIES MAKE A CITY.
