Experiencing Interruptions?

City Solitude

Living in a big city can be isolating, solitary places where many of us live entirely anonymously – never knowing who we are, who neighbors are or who lives around us. On the other hand, the fast development of infrastructure leads us to environmental pollution.

We always have these questions to ourselves:
Do we live in a right way? Have we reduced environmental pollution? Do we live in happiness?

“City Solitude" is trying to capture and reflect these question through poetry, body movements, and film.
