A canary called Cassandra
0.0/10
Overview
In one of her most recent works, the three-channel projection A canary called Cassandra, Marianna Christofides uses more than 200 collected slides to tell the story of the renowned Imperial Hotel, which was built by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright in Tokyo in the 1920s and opened just hours before the major Kantō earthquake that destroyed large parts of Tokyo and caused the death of more than 100,000 people. But the hotel survived almost undamaged. It took another 40 years until it was finally demolished for economic reasons in 1967.
