Today a few monuments still loom over Samarkand, overshadowing modern Soviet interlopers. From the immense ruin of Bibi-Khanym Mosque to Shah-I-Zinda's intimate alley of tombs and Tamerlane's resting place at Guri Amir Mausoleum, the city offers an imposing collection of intricately patterned towers, precise arches and azure domes. The Registan?a three-sided plaza of colossal mosaic portals, minarets and medressas (Islamic schools)?was the center of medieval Samarkand and remains the most impressive site (entry $1).

...video work takes advantage of the double-screen, converging and diverging on specific images to show a dazzling array of hypnotic designs.
