FLOOR 64
Video, UHD, 21:08 min Since the work on the Elbtower in Hamburg was paused in 2023 due to SIGNA's bankruptcy, the construction ruin seems to be haunted by failure, fantasies, and pledged luxurious pleasures. As for now, this skyscraper only exists in our minds, and for most of us, the only access to it would anyways be through imagination : Robert de Niro cuts the red ribbon to announce the opening of his restaurant on the top floor. For months, I attempted to get permission from SIGNA to film on the construction site. As expected, there was nothing but rejections; they had more important stuff to do. One evening, I discovered by coincidence a surprisingly easy spot to enter the construction site. All of a sudden, I was able to record the architecture on my own, while I nervously ascended the structure.
