Pruitt-Igoe Falls

2009•7m•

In this single channel, silent video work, French artist Cyprien Gaillard pairs two shots, both filmed at night. The first captures the demolition of a housing estate building in Sighthill, Glasgow, behind a cemetery. The second features Niagara Falls, lit up with coloured lights. Moving from one 'fall' into another, the mood of Pruitt Igoe Falls is both sublime and entropic.
