Suburbs in the Sky



This video is a 2 minute snapshot of a larger mA work looking at the rapid construction happening in the Middle East. Filmed in Bahrain, Dubai and Abu Dhabi the work is shot from rooftops and half-finished tower blocks. The footage asks the questions 'who is building the Middle East?', as it borrows portraits of the immigrant workers. The film examines the reality of a sky-high suburbia, sold as a western vision to potential buyers and points out the experimental architectural playground the Middle East has become for it's kings.
