Land Of Time / Tierra del Tiempo is an animated audiovisual installation that portrays the passage of time through the contemplation of four specific movie theatres from different moments in the history of the Dominican Republic. By re-interpreting the movie-going experience into the observation of cinemas as places, they might be able to tell the story of how the city, its culture, and its landscape change over time.
