About
Acclaimed artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer stages democratic takeover of public spaces with his disruptive pieces that rely almost entirely on public participation. Shot over 10 years in 30 cities around the world, the film provides intimate access to his large-scale interactive creations in locations such as Trafalgar Square in London, the Vancouver Olympics, and New Yorks Park Avenue Tunnel, culminating in a piece that crosses the US-Mexico border. Rafaels work is a rallying point for a disjointed urban population, longing to connect. His art doesnt discriminate, and all who participate are given a voice: What I want is for people to feel like their presence has an urban scale and that they have a platform to self-representfor a little while, people can feel like they own their city.
