This video is a visual representation of an essay entitled “Heterotopias” as well as a reaction to it. The essay and film were made in tandem with each other; each reacting to the other,  each serving as precursor to the other, each informing how the other would delve into the idea of a heterotopia through the lens of concrete.

“It is the idea of a utopia put into practice somehow, thereby becoming corrupted, which creates a heterotopia.” 

The city of Dublin seems to be propelling us out of it with more and more concrete, shaping how we can interact with each other within it, stripping us of space to move in freely - what is our heterotopia? Can auto-theory connect my heterotopia with another?
