Bird’s eye view of cities
There are works that acquire a new meaning in times of urban silence, such as the great metropolises of Thomas Bayrle.
Skyscrapers, large structures, motorways and other urban roads. The cities of Thomas Bayrle, filmed from a bird’s eye view and ‘wonderfully monotonous’, in the words of this pioneering German Pop artist, suggest the idea of the city as a living organism, its colossal forms and gigantic constructions reminding us that our democracy can never be easy. A reflection on the nature of the city in times of global silence.
