Futures For Failures

Crystal Z Campbell

2011 | 00:01:01 | United States | English | Color | Stereo | 16:9 | Film

Collection: Single Titles

Tags: African-American, Architecture, Death and Dying, History, Memory

Futures for Failures is a double narrative of failure: architectural and social. Archival footage from a demolition of the Pruitt-Igoe building in St. Louis manifests as the materialization of modernity’s failure. Meanwhile, an intimate voiceover recounts a moment of laughter erupting during a stranger’s funeral, staging anachronous conversation between the disappeared and the disappearing.
