THE FIFTH WALL
cinematic work about how to crack a massive bullet proof glas pane _ 2017
SYNOPSIS :
In the Fifth Wall, kutin|kindlinger replace the cinema-screen through a bulletproof glass pane (originally measured 3x2m). They let us see and listen a series of impacts that create cracks, cuts, splinters and shape the glass‘ internal structure … until it’s finally melted down.
This wall made of glass becomes a cinematic metaphor for a society intrinsically linked to the screen. In times of fragmentation and acceleration, we live more and more through abstraction.
