THE BYSTANDER IN CALGARY twelve reverse architecture scripts 12 duchamps to ourselves Cityscapes, citystates, cityscripts – (synopsis) based on the theme of citystates, it is the bystander that asks the questions today: unengaged by audiences already decided, an industry that collides with the thin world and a media that explodes city life into lost insights, the bystander is the only sane individual we can turn to.. * the bystander challenges any citation that attempts to bring them into a greater socio-cultural mix or sense of movement; still, unmoving, and unmoved, the image of the bystander exists in the nonsense of movement, a transition that can never be re-experienced.. * the Bystander's cultural make up becomes the city's cultural wake up uttered discreetly, always about to make that leap from the window to becomes duchamps to themselves.
