Abstract
In this lucid critique of the modern city Kohon plays with a counterpoint between the developed, machine-like city centre of Buenos Aires and the homeplace of those who prop it up and produce it - the shantytowns. The late 1950s was a moment in which development, embodied by modern architecture and international investment, was expected to solve thepressing housing shortage of Argentina. However, Kohon´s Buenos Aires is a Manichean world in which it becomes clear that housing is still a great problem. 'Sí, señor, yo vivo aquí' ('Yes, sir, I live here') is the only dialogue in this short film, repeatedly declared by three workers whose daily routine the film depicts.
