The Civic Life series began in July 2003 and includes seven films, each one shot in a day, that capture different places and communities in daring long takes. Daydream follows on from the Civic Life series and is a half hour film shot over four days using multiple locations.

All these films are highly poetic and meditative works that trace the connection between cities at specific moments of change, and how these moments can be reflected in the emotional world of the citizens living in them.
