An experimental adaptation of the seminal architectural text Learning from Las Vegas (1972) by architects Denise Scott Brown and Robert Venturi. Using the concept of “twin phenomena” - opposite entities intertwined throughout the city - the film blurs the past with the present, the directors’ collaborative relationship with Venturi and Scott Brown’s, and the city’s constant creation and destruction through the motels, wedding chapels, and neon signs that make up the landscape of Vegas.
