Explodium-X.com (2010) is a film that examines the immediate surroundings and environment of the London Olympic site in its current state of flux. The locations in the film are places that have been affected or will be transformed by the architectural or social development of the London 2012 Olympics.
The film explores the specific image of the Olympic Stadium through ten scenes of individual movies that utalise stadiums in their own rights.
The stadiums in these movies are used as places of conflict, athleticism and sanctuary, social concepts that are prevalent in the many uses of a stadium through its development from ancient times.
The film moves from morning to night through a multitude of contrasting landscapes that are empty of people, but full of change from an evidently human touch.
It is, in essence, an action film without people.
