Terrence Hector for “City Walkers”
Fictional Landscapes
Terrence Hector
These are The Walkers, somehow like machine-buildings described as living organisms. When they have died, a new, dead city has formed in their place.
A fantastic Artwork accompanied by The City Walkers, a fairy tale proposal made by Terrence Hector. Second prize on Fairy Tale 2017 Competition.
Here’s an extract…
The City Walkers by Terrence Hector
“ Nobody quite remembers when we began to coexist with the Walkers, but everyone remembers when they began to die.
The City had always seemed to exist since the beginning of history, its continued prosperity the consequence of a mutualist relationship between two species: the City Walkers and the Human City Dwellers that lived amongst them.
The Walkers, while they were certainly alive, existed at a tempo so much longer and slower than the human lifespan that they functioned as landscape and urban architecture as well as domesticated animal. It is believed that the first human settlers in what is now the City mistook them for geological features or monstrous abandoned termite nests upon their discovery. They dwarfed even the tallest trees, and as far as the early city-dwellers were concerned, theses creatures might as well have been part of the landscape (Plate 1). They were incomprehensibly slow, taking a step once every lunar cycle. Settlements grew beneath, and then around and behind the paths of individual beings in the herd…”

Probably shot on someone's phone and the camera sometimes zooms in and out. They seem to be waiting on some sort of film or show's production set.] 6:09 PM PDT, Dec 13, 2016 (Source)
