Bruno depended on architecture in reel-time and real-time to tell how artists merging reel/real-time think of the resonance of architecture and film.
Time has always been an essential element in the arts. While painting and sculpture often frame moments as timeless pieces, stage play and film are often the opposite. As an audience, I often get lost at the exit of the cinema, because I cannot imagine how I have watched someone’s entire life in just a few hundred minutes. So as opposed to spending two hours watching a movie, I will choose to spend two hours wandering along the streets to see faces pass and human interactions. Reel-time and real-time seem to be an answer for me. Once reel-time is consistent with real-time, the film becomes architecture, then the architecture, in fact, is also a film. Everyone in the world is actually a movie-goer, but we might be sitting at different ‘cinemas’.

I appreciate how you compared different art and media forms in this discussion of reel and real time, and weaved in your personal experiences. The discussion of time is interesting as we consider the relationship between film and architecture. I wonder if you have come across any particular film or architecture that has resonated in similar ways to the examples in Giuliano Bruno’s essay.
