‘An extraordinary journey through the material that makes up our habitat: concrete, and its ancestor, stone. Filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda, Aquarela) raises a fundamental question: how do we inhabit the world of tomorrow?’. (source A24)

through stunningly beautiful and rare images, victor kossakovsky shows us the power and brutality that men are capable of when they decide to build, construct, erect — but also, more sadly, to pulverise, destroy and ravage. the best and the worst — and amidst it all, nature persists, proving that, in terms of power, she remains unmatched.

following in the footsteps of italian architect michele de lucci and his ‘magic circle’, we are invited to think about what we truly want: is it right to cram people into ugly, ill-suited concrete towers? is it ok to impose this new model of housing where the sofa takes centre stage in the middle of the kitchen (or is it the other way around)? can we really accept that some people live in tiny, draughty, poorly insulated homes while others lose themselves in air-conditioned castles?

life hangs by a thread and can be snuffed out when the earth decides to shake, or when stupid humans simply decide to destroy housing and finally life.

but how should we spend our limited time on this pale blue dot? after all, isn’t it time for us to fix the very foundations of humanity as a whole?
