The videos constitute preliminary work for a larger research project - Buenos Aires: Porous City - which is a practice-led investigation into the critical relationship between filmmaking and the city. Drawing upon Patrick Keiller’s notion of ‘film as spatial critique’ the project seeks traces of the film-image in the real locations of Buenos Aires, and uses the camera as a tool for the investigation of urban space.
