Eiffel Tower reflected onto Tativille glazing, from Playtime (1967)

This collapsing of window onto facade becomes yet another way to erase any distinction between building and image. And this is even more so in Tati's film, where glazed curtain walls reflect other parts of Paris. Here, then, glass becomes architecture. Architecture becomes a screen that reflects images onto public space. In short, as demonstrated by the various buildings (and reflections of buildings) in Playtime, architecture has become a true urban screen.

Why do I blog this? interesting perspective about the role of images and reflections on Playtime (by Jacques Tati) that could be seen as early instantiations of "urban screens".
