Grid Room (Featuring De Dierenmarsch by George Debels)

Filmed from the 15th floor of a hotel in downtown São Paulo, several athletes play soccer and basketball and skate around a colossal three-story sports field. Through a quick flicker, a 1931 animation by Dutch artist George Debels, titled De Dierenmarsch (The March of the Animals), is juxtaposed. The grids that define the two rooms merge into an elusive perspective, creating the illusion that the animals and athletes are interacting in the same space.
