Momentography of a failure [Addis Ababa] brings essays, timelines, film, photography, and a series of conversations together to deal with Ethiopia‘s controversial urbanisation and the transformative space of the city. It explores the gradual transition of rural-urban space, inner-city migration, emerging and disappearing spaces, and commoning in public space.
Rift Finfinnee takes the viewer on a journey through the periphery of the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. The film takes the concrete geography, architecture, and everyday life as the starting point for an allegorical narrative about the becoming urban of an African society on the edge of civil war.
