This video art suggests the idea of loneliness and alienation feeling in the cities like New York, Paris, and London. The artist shows this by shooting a slow, night-time tracking shot of the cities. The long shots of the scenes are the effective way to show the loneliness of people in the video. Most of the people that appear in this video are alone, and watching this video I felt their emotion of lonely. I like this piece because I have the same experience and I can relate to this emotion. Also, I think the use of colors in this video is really crisp and creates the atmosphere.
