The bunker This sequence was shot in an abandoned military bunker in Cuba. It was presented to us as destined to one of the infamous nuclear missiles of the 1962 crisis, although we have no elements to confirm this hypothesis. It was nevertheless a sinister and fascinating place, huge enough to contain a big launching pad. The […] No responses 2014-12-11
Nothing is left Nothing is left. We imbued this long take traveling towards Alexanderplatz with the dark mood of Circuit Parallele’s track.

A neighbourhood already under observation for the RCP project. This time […] No responses 2014-10-17

The images of its demolition in 1973 have become the symbol of the passage to the post modern era, according to a famous Charles Jenks’ assertion. We saw the excellent film The Pruitt-Igoe Myth at the Rotterdam Architecture Film Festival. The […] No responses 2014-06-07
Stare Sajmište The urban periphery is a field of conquest and investment. It is the frontier of the advancing city, the front of the urban growth machine. Essential modern means to foster urban development are exhibitions, temporary events, the use of spectacular processes as ice-breaking operations towards new investment and settlement.

Modernism in-between (…) then, Yugoslav culture was not entirely open either functioning inside a systemic “membrane” that filtered the exchange with the outside world. Similarly, Yugoslavia’s position between the “three worlds” of the Cold War was not symmetric either. The chief reference points of exchange shifted at first from East to West and then only slightly back […] No responses 2014-03-09
