Global Architecture Platform

Circles

by Javiera Godoy

TRANSFER invites a selection of filmmakers worldwide to share their personal view of changes in both domestic and public space in today’s circumstances. The video essay by Javiera Godoy for TRANSFER NEXT features recordings made on different days in a car park in front of her apartment, in the middle of total lockdown ongoing in Santiago de Chile since March 2020. In this short film, Godoy shows how the local residents have been creating new “public spaces” from what we might call residual outdoor places, and how this journey has become a cyclical act in small spaces, in a powerful dialogue with the cyclical movements within the limits of her home.
