Insurgentes

A 60-minute long, fixed shot taken from the 13th floor of Condominio Insurgentes, capturing the northwest view overlooking Avenida Insurgentes in Mexico City during peak traffic hours from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. The footage was recorded on the day that commemorated the 200th anniversary of Mexican independence. The video features a captivating static frame where the sounds of the bustling street and subtle movements are barely audible. The prominent feature within the frame is a counterclockwise moving pinwheel decorated with the colors of the Mexican flag, which serves as one of the few temporal markers.
