Cinema Architecture

“54 hours of VHS tapes collected during the years 2009-2011 in the cities of Rotterdam, Tokyo and Fez. In 2013, three distinct landscape portraits are extracted and composed in a 64’ feature film in three chapters titled The Fall of Rotterdam, The Divine Groom and Foundation of Fez.

Op. 09-13 is essentially structured in a triptych, where each chapter evokes in a visionary appropriation the city’s peculiar history and identity. The convergence of these far and extraneous sites in a single picture film, constructs a warp of relations and reciprocities which reformulates and forces their geography, architecture and history into a kind of continental triangulation.”

​

Mastequoia is the name of the group composed by three artists (Gabriele, Giacomo and Carlo).

Mastequoia op. 09-13 is a film conceived to collect the actions and the experiences that the group made in Rotterdam, Tokyo and Fez.

It was screened first time in Rotterdam for Cinema Architecture.
