Model City: Cars w/ Accou Laposte & Marjolein Guldentops
Model City is a thematic radio mix series that explores how we live, remember, and dream the city. Each episode traces a sub-theme, listening to the city from another angle. This time we get behind the wheel: the car as vessel of freedom and confinement, a machine of speed and stillness, intimacy and estrangement. A moving shelter, a stage for desire and danger, a site where dreams and accidents unfold. Engines, voices, and fictions collide in the rearview of the city.
