beginnings...

Based on Lars von Trier and Jurgen Leth’s movie The 5 Obstructions (2003) and Raymond Queneau’s Exercises in Style (1947), this studio explores the multiple ways one can rethink architecture and its representation. At their core, both of these works investigate the ways of repeating pre-existing stories or cannons through new systems or representational strategies. In the movie, von Trier asks Leth to redo his 1967 movie, The Perfect Human, to respond to new and current filmic and personal concerns. In Queneau’s work, we simply find the reiteration of the same story using different styles.
