synopsis

The short film series steel structures. façades. more. was launched exclusively on Archilovers' social media channels starting from November 15th 2017.

“The production of a web series dedicated to contemporary architecture represents something never seen in the Italian scene - Claudio Esposito says, director and author of the project. For us it means the synthesis of an artistic research aimed at telling the complexity of architecture through the audiovisual language, which nowadays is the basic instrument to reach that part of audience that nourishes day by day the growing architectural debate on social networks.”

The film journey, by which The Piranesi Experience tells us about the sixth and last Messner Mountain Museum designed by the Anglo-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid in collaboration with Reinhold Messner, starts out with the early light of dawn.
The panoramic views of the drone span like wind blowing between the mountains at a height of 2275 metres, moving from the endless landscape of the Dolomites to the intimacy of a carved architecture in the rock from which it seems to be generated.

a labyrinthine trajectory  of the interior hypogeum


The smooth shapes of the building merge into a symbiotic relationship with the natural power that houses them, concrete coverings and metal structures blend with the surrounding rocks in a continuous dialogue between artificial and natural, interior and exterior, darkness and light.
Through the large panoramic windows, a gaze is able to move freely in four cardinal directions, disclosing an intimate and constant relationship with the scenery where the building is immersed, while witnessing the undertakings of the greatest alpinists of all time.


The fluid movements of the camera, accompanied by Populus’ notes and Fabio Paolucci’s photography, follow the labyrinthine trajectory  of the interior hypogeum distributed over several levels that end by melting on an overhanging terrace with breathtaking panoramic views.
The lights of the day go out, the camera slowly pans out revealing the building in its entirety, remaining silent on the mountain’s summit,  which protects it.
