Release Year:
2011
Story:
Different observation methods for different functional buildings, three-stage structure. The first paragraph is about an art district in Huairou District, Beijing. The common feature of each studio is simplicity and potential mobility. There is a kind of uneasy emotion behind the silence. Everyone who lives here has their own uneasy minds. Similar architectural structures carry their minds. In a number of square boxes, they spend their hometown life this year. The second paragraph is the SARS hospital that was built in 7 days in Xiaotangshan Town, Changping District,Beijing in 2013. The hospital was put into use immediately after it was built. After the SARS incident, this well-functioning hospital was abandoned. A well-functioning social institution was isolated from social life. Under the attack of natural forces, everything that happened in this emergency hospital was weeded. Autumn wind, falling rain buried. The final passage of the film is a recollection of a young man from a detention center about the building he lived for a month, including space and his life processes.
