THE FALLING MAN

Machinima from the video game GTA IV

A cyclical recreation of the slow fall of an anonymous character from a building in Liberty City, a virtual replica of New York.

As reference, the famous photograph of the same title by Richard Drew (Associated Press), taken during the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.

That image, which immortalized the fall of a man, here becomes the summa of countless falls within contemporary societies.
