'23 Storeys’ refers to the 23 levels of the Tour Centrale, also known as the 'Lotto Building’ in Brussels. At the time of the shooting, the building was completely empty. The camera first moves from the 5th level up the fire escape escape and then down from the 23rd floor through the empty corridors and rooms, always using the elevator from floor to floor, down to the 6th. The Tower building is never visible from the outside. At first it seems to have a labyrinth -like structure but through the movement of the camera, a structure emerges little by little, from level to level, through memory, through repetition and different aspects of the fragmented architecture.
