A city in motion, the pedestrians and cars streaming through the streets casting shadows in time. Staccato monochrome images are underscored by music by Michael Gordon. The film is part of a multimedia project known as The Carbon Copy Building that thematizes impressions from two seemingly identical buildings in New York.

Subversion of the film window, or rather the display of the limits of both film and photography at once. The method of "time capture": the diachrony of the film strip is preserved solely at the expense of relying on the synchrony of individual photographic moments. Although this could define practically any film technique (film is a "moving photograph"), the jerkiness of this "capturing of time" or rather the collection of individual photographs, each one disrupting time and its flow, is a manifestation of the irreconcilability of every film: human perception is never capable of capturing the entire flow of film windows, which allow for the perception of film time; we are only able to fully grasp and remember slow images - hence the power of painting, photography, and photos taken during the filming of movies - and thus the individual windows. And yet, the greatest pleasure in watching a film lies precisely in its dynamism, its constant transformation, and its movement, which are the aspects it requires to make it a film. NYC disassembled into N, Y, and C, and then rearranged into a new irreconcilable mobile unity - NYC.
