24 de dic. de 2017 · The panning shot of an anonymous city street establishes the tensile, yet integral relationship between citizen and environment in Guy Debord’s dense and minimalist essay On the Passage of a Few Persons Through a Rather Brief Unity of Time, describing the rows of generic apartment buildings as places of refuge from the constant social immersion imposed by the shared spaces of urban living.
On the Passage of a Few Persons Through a Rather Brief Unity of Time (film soundtrack) Voice 1: This neighborhood was designed for the wretched dignity of the petty bourgeoisie, for respectable occupations and intellectual tourism.

Guy Debord’s cinematographic output starts in 1952 with Howlings for Sade, within the context of his youthful enthusiasm and Letterist cinema, and ends in 1978 with In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni, fruit of a profound personal melancholy.

Debord’s relationship with time is philosophical and political, but also literary. From Howlings for Sade to In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni, his writing both sings about and bewails the passage of time.
