The product of a 2008 workshop in Paris with students from École Spéciale d'Architecture (ESA), and  École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-La Villette (ENSA La Villette), the video attempts to reconcile the image-based explorations of AA Dip3 with the ‘video mapping’ exercises that the French students have been practicing.  A video-in-plan of sites in Asia deteriorates into the visual speeding-by of scenery as we see, in parallel with a traveler’s journey, the draining of the world’s water.
