Location : Sickhouse Cinema

In horror movies, architecture is often a hidden main character, a frame around and in which disparate situations weave together.
La casa (ostinato crescendo) captures a series of stereotypical architectures used in mainstream horror cinema: from the abandoned house, to the imposing Victorian house, to the dollhouse. In the video, the images of houses seen from the outside, stripped of their direct filmic reference, are forced to show themselves as variations of a single element and to reveal identical signs that contribute to the creation of psychological tension.
