CINEMA WITH HOSPITAL(Los Angeles, 1999)

Fiction touches reality in this building combining the essence of a movie theatre and a clinic. The certainty of death, re—enacted in film and physically encountered in the emergency room, is inscribed in an ethereal space of both movement and immobility. Pain, illness and death are no longer screened, imagination and sensation join under one roof for a full experience of the human condition: we watch as we die, we die as we watch.
