03' 55", 1996

Made in Tokyo, the quintessential city of patchwork architecture, this film depicts in static shot the burning of a very simple structure made up of stacked boxes into which cut-out windows have been made. This simple formal intervention adds a tragic dimension to the film. Burning Down the House is the title of a song by Talking Heads.
