mehr erfahrenAs closing event of the exhibition “Raumspuren. Beyond Achitecture” the BDA Gallery Hamburg shows a cinematic documentary about the building complex of the once largest housing estate (Barbican Estate) and the famous culture and conference center (Barbican Center) of the City of London, one of the most representative achievements of brutalist architecture.
Barbicania is a feature-length film capturing a month long immersion in the life of the Barbican Centre and Estate. The film, built as a personal diary, recounts on a daily basis what the directors duo has discovered during their urban trip from the top floors of the towers to the underground levels of the art centre. Barbicania invites you to discover the personalities, lifestyle and architectural landscapes that make the Barbican so special. Drawing an intimate human map of the place, the film questions the durability of this post Second World War utopia.
The renowned filmmakers Ila Bêka & Louise Lemoine became known for their documentary series "Living Architectures". Her works are shown at festivals worldwide and are already part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA).
Welcome: Daniel Kinz, 1st Chairman BDA Hamburg
The film will be presented in English.
