“Stone On Stone” is a stop-motion video animation that uses the architectural language of High Gothic and Modernism to invent a contradictory history of their evolvement. The theme starts and finishes with the vast and unfinished Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, NYC. It is contrasted with Le Corbusier’s La Tourette monastery in France, competed in 1960. The video uses this anomalous but single-minded architectural vision as the foundation for a new emergence of Gothic religious expression, resulting in a complete and unified fantasy cathedral – akin to the building that the Church of Saint John might have aspired to be.

    I think your work is fascinating- but.. how is it an intervention of Corbusier's convent when you just cover the total facade with a new layer?

    I'm an art teacher and currently I teach animation. I'm going to show this to my students, but I have no idea how you did it. Do you have any "making of" footage? would you be willing to share a bit of your technique, or is it secret?
    Thanks!

    i think he uses a lot of time-lapse pictures from the history book. print them, then cut them and make stop motion animation out of them. just a guess thou :)

    i like the execution.
