Disintegration Loop 1.1
2001The attack of September 11, 2001 was a coordinated suicide terrorist attack carried out against civilian and military targets in the United States of America by a group of terrorists belonging to the terrorist organization al-Qāʿida.
Disintegration Loop 1.1 consists of one static shot of lower Manhattan billowing smoke during the last hour of daylight on September 11th, 2001, set to the decaying pastoral tape loop Basinski had recorded in August, 2001. Shot from Basinski's roof in Williamsburg Brooklyn, this is an actual documentary of how he and his neighbors witnessed the end of that fateful day. It is a tragically beautiful cinema verite elegy dedicated to those who perished in the atrocities of September 11th, 2001.
