Rotonda - Xanadu
Palladio's Villa Rotonda and the castle Xanadu from Orson Welles's Citizen
Kane are both classic examples of architectural or film construction. The basis for ROTONDA - XANADU is a reconstruction of
the mysterious opening sequence from Citizen Kane. The deconstruction of this sequence starts with the random replacing of
the original film images and is continued with massive interventions in the single frames.
