You have two more nights to see Anthropocene, the Marco Brambilla video installation commissioned by the Public Art Fund and Hugo Boss at The Time Warner Center. Backed by a haunting soundtrack of Christopher Cerrone's adaptation of Camille Saint-Saens's Carnival of the Animals, the video peice, projected across three panoramic screens depicts a dramatic video game-like zooming through the paths of Central Park in ultra vivid colors, juxtaposed with black and white scenes of the cityscape around it. Anthropocene is a geological term for when humans influence the behavior of ecosystems—the nearly eight-minute short showcases the bustle of Columbus Circle juxtaposed against the beauty of Central Park just steps away. The film was created to celebrate the opening of the new 15,000-square-foot flagship Hugo Boss store at the Time Warner Center. Anthropocene is a geological term for when humans influence the behavior of ecosystems—the nearly eight-minute short showcases the bustle of Columbus Circle juxtaposed against the beauty of Central Park just steps away.
The film is on public display at Columbus Circle—visible from both inside and outside the mall—from 7 to 10 p.m. through September 30. It can also be viewed on-line at hugoboss.com.
