Misty Picture

Twenty years ago, the towers of the New York World Trade Center collapsed. In addition to the endlessly repeated television images of this event, manifold stagings of the building have long existed, presenting the WTC as a highly symbolic icon, a speculative destruction fantasy, or merely as a spectacular backdrop. In Misty Picture, such fictional motifs string together: city symphony, disaster movie, and medial trauma therapy become one.
