Travelling through the city of Las Vegas and the encircling desert, Las Vegas | The Meadows examines the soul of a city both real and unreal. Moving from outside to inside, images of facades and voids reveal an empire of ghosts and electricity. The amusement park-fantasy-frenzy of Las Vegas becomes a psychological landscape of spaces forgotten, people unseen and multiplying kilowatts filling what used to be the meadows of the Nevada desert.
