In five segments, this videotape examines certain facets of urban living. "Todd" and "Mary" are video portraits of two unsettled young Canadians, one of whom lives in New York City; the other resides in Montreal. "Architecture Galdre" is a visual survey of architecture and the spaces created by it, the setting for all urban activities. "Garbage" is a reminder that the incessant proliferation of ecologically incompatible waste products is an integral component of our lifestyles. "Relief" comments on the idea of relief as a human need in the same way that a TV advertisement might.
Each of the five segments could be seen as a self-contained work possessing characteristics of both video essays and rock video clips. Like journalistic productions, this tape attempts to seduce the viewer with simplistic information and provocative, colorful images.
