The modernist understanding is primarily shaped through architecture. Remains of this universal understanding based on rationality form the space of “Nursing Modern Fall”. Put together through articulation and deduction these ruins of utopian architecture, I mean broken places, transform into a stage on which the girls act. As the girls struggle to cope with these ruins something repressed emerges. Acts in between improvement and destruction work as the subconscious of this rational understanding. As this cycle continuously folds on itself it turns into an uncanny activity, through which diverse perspectives collide and all the scenes in a movie are shown simultaneously.
