Empty Nightclub
Ben Edelberg
Drawing on footage from Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, "Empty Nightclub" is a maze of urban streets, dark corridors and dance floors. The video weaves scenes from Orlando, San Francisco, New York, Chicago and Toronto to take the viewer on a mysterious journey. Are we looking for the party or are we desperately searching for the exit?
