Space Fictions – Booklets on Architecture and Cinema
Francisco Ferreira (ed.)
The collection of booklets Space Fictions, published by Circo de Ideias and edited by Francisco Ferreira, is a space developed for a critical and visual approach to the relationships between architecture and cinema.
Borrowing Jean Baudrillard’s definition of the act of photographing, the action of cinema is understood here not as a way of describing the world, but as a way of “bringing it into existence through its thousand faces”; in the same way and in sequence, it’s also recovered the Ignasi de Solà-Morales’ conviction that “it is not only the need for mediation but also the media condition, the establishment of fictions, that which is specific to architecture and the urban landscape.”
Under these pretexts, the following issues are published: Solaris. S. Soderbergh, 2002, THX 1138. George Lucas, 1971, Being John Malkovich. Spike Jonze, 1999, CQ. Roman Coppola, 2001 e Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari. Robert Wiene, 1920.
The editorial project was supported by Direcção Geral das Artes (DGArtes) and Landscape, Heritage and territory Laboratory (Lab2PT).
