Selected Views (2024)

Synopsis

Following more than three years of exploratory research, photography, and writing about the singular view from his Brooklyn studio, Groeneboer took up a daily practice over the subsequent two and a half years of filming the panorama through his window. This process entailed a durational commitment to witnessing the presence of architectures and systems that are often hidden from everyday life. The resulting film is a visual meditation that follows the cyclical rhythms of weather and industry to offer a portrait of New York City in relation to the forces that shape it, including late-stage capitalism and environmental crises.
