The Right of Spring
Patrick Blenkarn
Taking place on the first day of spring in 2015, The Right of Spring captures the common phenomenon of an apartment building being demolished in the heart of Shanghai, China and the citizens who watch it go down. An observation followed by a reflection, the video is an experimental documentary ruminating upon the passing of time, the conditions of progress, and the concept of memory in the digital age.
