From Flat to Flat

The video "From Flat to Flat" ("Moving house") is showing the way through Moscow in a wagon. If you are in a dark wagon with a hole in a wall, then the image of the city appears upside down on the opposite wall. I saw it with my own eyes and made a video of that. It was -25 C (below the zero) when we were recording the video. The video is accompanied with the romance by Tchaikovsky "Mid the Din of the Ball", the lyrics: A. K. Tolstoi, the singer: A. Solovyanenko.
