Le Corbusier au Mistral

Overview

"Afternoon shift in Marseilles coupled with the stormy mistral. I love Bauhaus and filmed a big complex by Le Corbusier 'Unité d'habitation' in which, besides apartments, there were originally shops, a hotel, a kindergarten and everything necessary. What's interesting for me, however, is above all to try to get a fragmentary, cinematic feel of the three-dimensional concrete sculpture, thereby experiencing the natural power of the mistral. An intense blue, recurring stage-like views that open up a second level of the image, and a captivating depth of field linger in the memory of the viewer.” —Milena Gierke
