7/10

A series of sculptures made from metal and wood located in the water and on land and accompanied by an eerily faint and chanting soundtrack with some natural audio effects to simulate some of the noises that might be associated with the creations. Some, like birds, people wheels and aeroplanes are more recognisable. others more abstract as if abandoned or incomplete. Yards away from this silent theme park the hustle and bustle of a big city and it's arteries thrives, anachronistically, but in a sort of harmony. It could easily be a tale of before and after - but which way round? It's presented as if these were exhibits in an exhibition. A collection of edited shots from two angles of the same San Francisco harbour that uses no gimmicks, narration or animation. It allows the images to speak (or not) for themselves and we can take what we want from it.
