Pleasures of Urban Decay

Samuel Ball
1999 Canada; United States 19 minutes English

Artist Ben Katchor, the creator of the comic strip Julius Knipl, real estate photographer, guides us through a vast and shadowy landscape of old skyscrapers, neglected warehouses and all-night cafeterias. Pleasures of urban decay peers behind the city’s façades and through its cracks, turning New York’s everyday trappings into urban poetry.
