Darkly does it.
Industrialisation is often characterised as a malevolent force. Belching chimneys spewing forth black clouds of who knows what – it’s fertile ground for the imagination, whether you’re viewing Industrialism on a purely aesthetic level; or as Mammon made real. Perhaps Blake captured it best when he famously described the post-Industrial revolution landscape as those ‘dark, Satanic mills’. This time lapse film is another great example. Add the soundtrack from ‘The Shining’ and you have a sinister, nightmarish – but undeniably beautiful film.
