A construction photographer with a taste for explosions and mythical creatures is about to leave the last building that he was assigned to document. The building is nearly completed and he has decided to capture one iconic shot of it before leaving. Exploring the building by following his moving body, the narrator reads the photographer’s conflicting ideas on the relationship between the built environment and its images, especially the entanglement of modern architecture and narrative cinema. Landing is commissioned by David Chipperfield Architects Berlin and shot at one of their building projects in Seoul. The script is based on hour-long conversations with twenty-six architects and engineers who had worked on the building’s design. Daekwang Lee, the building’s photographer plays himself and the film is narrated by the architect David Chipperfield.
