2023, Austria, 3’40”

The Film Guild Cinema built in 1929 by the Austrian architect and artist Frederick Kiesler in New York comes to life. The cinema screen becomes the viewer and ultimately a gateway for the muses of Kiesler's organic architecture. Crawling around, they explore the early work of their later companion and foretell the change in his architectural approach.

Kinodvorana Film Guild Cinema, ki jo je leta 1929 v New Yorku zgradil avstrijski arhitekt in umetnik Frederick Kiesler, oživi. Filmsko platno postane gledalec in navsezadnje prehod za muze Kieslerjeve organske arhitekture. Med plazenjem naokoli raziskujejo zgodnje delo svojega poznejšega sopotnika in napovedujejo spremembo v njegovem arhitekturnem pristopu.

  • The film utilizes a hybrid approach; while the movements of the cinema building and tongue are crafted using stop motion animation, the insects were captured in live action.

  • Film uporablja hibridni pristop; medtem ko so gibi kinodvorane in jezika ustvarjeni v tehniki stop animacije, so žuželke posnete v živo.
