This project explores the "crisis, death, and rebirth of modernism" through the interplay of architecture and cinema, emphasizing the concept of "total art." Inspired by Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, the film narrates the experiences of Icarus, a janitor navigating modernist architectural spaces, symbolizing the rise and fall of modernism. By utilizing film as a medium, the project integrates narrative and architectural aesthetics, investigating how cinematic language can express architecture's emotions and stories. Within the framework of "total art," it highlights the profound potential of dialogue between art and space in a multidimensional context.
This project is set within my film, exploring architecture-cinema interplay in Gesamtkunstwerk.
Using a narrative approach, the film showcases architectural details inside and out through the protagonist's laboring perspective.
