La filature —
Academic research/project in The Berlage Center for Advances Studies in Architecture and Urban Design. 2018La filature is a call for saving the ruins of the post-industrial heritage. Imitating the filming technique of montaging and cutting to introduce the foreign type of the Movie Palace into the obsolete textile factory Desurmont, to open spaces for consumption and production of films. In La filature, the pre-existent condition of ruin is used as sets, backgrounds for the production of films and as ornaments for the Movie Palace. This project reacts to the commonness of the post-industrial territory by disrupting the contemporary way of dealing with heritage. It sets an example of detournement, like the famous Life magazine photograph, for the other 97 abandoned sites of the Eurometropolis to follow.
