THE CITY OF ORDER

by Antoine DUBOS

Downtown at night. The neon of the pharmacy sign flashes. Screams in an apartment. A group of three policemen force the door and break into the room. A man is restrained, handcuffed, arrested. On leaving, the patrol finds itself in a lino street lined with the decorations of shopfronts and a fake police station. On the simulation site of the Oissel police academy (in France), students police officer train themselves in a city recreated from scratch. By staging ordinary life situations, the police reveal their vision of social order.
