A brief overview of our film cycle that takes place in our Atelier.
Every first Wednesday of the month, we gather around the filmography of directors Beka & Lemoine to enjoy together a documentary on an architectural project or the discovery of a city.
Video-artists, filmmakers, producers and publishers, Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine have been working together for the past 15 years mainly focusing their research on experimenting new narrative and cinematographic forms in relation to contemporary architecture and urban environment. Focusing their interest mainly on how the built environment shapes and influences our daily life, they have developed a very unique and personal approach which can be defined, in reference to French writer Georges Perec, as an "anthropology of the ordinary".
We watched Moriyama-San, one week in the extraordinary-ordinary life of Mr. Moriyama, a Japanese art, architecture, and music enlighted amateur who lives in one of the most famous contemporary Japanese architecture, the Moriyama house, built-in Tokyo in 2005 by Pritzker-prize winner Ryue Nishizawa (SANAA).
