from street art to abandoned landscapes, infrastructures and central hubs, the artist has compiled his work into a short movie that tells the story of the city’s most familiar and unusual spaces. ‘I got to know detroit well, driving long hours using lyft and flying my drone over her wide avenues. even better than driving and flying were the long walks I took downtown. with such an open, concrete-filled space, its hard not to dance’, expresses trevor cutts.
