About the exhibition
Homo Urbanus – A Citymatographic Odyssey
Films by Ila Bêka & Louise Lemoine, Italy/France
The Graz film event – the Diagonale – Festival of Austrian Film – will be postponed this year to 8-13 June 2021. In anticipation of this event, the House of Architecture presents the exceptional works of Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine, two of the foremost architectural artists and filmmakers of our time. The exhibition shows a selection of their most famous films. The most recent series is Homo Urbanus, which focuses on the relationship between people and cities in different parts of the world and will be shown in full length at the HDA. On display will also be Bêka & Lemoine's most widely known productions, including Koolhaas Houselife as well as Moriyama-San (architecture by Sanaa, Japan), The Infinite Happiness (architecture by BIG, Denmark), Barbicania (Brutalist Barbican Estate in London from the 1950s). This film series on well-known houses emphasises the presence of everyday life within some of the most iconic architectural projects of recent decades.
Leading up to the exhibition, the HDA, together with Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine as well as the directors of the Diagonale, Sebastian Höglinger and Peter Schernhuber, launched a film competition, looking for 1- to 3-minute short films telling everyday stories of Graz city life. A selection of the most interesting films will be shown at the exhibition.
The film programme will be complemented by semester projects by architecture students at Graz University of Technology, organised by the KOEN Institute. The works by the 180 students produced in the context of the "Beginners Workshop 2020", viewed one after another, make up a tour of Graz city centre.
