A MACHINE FOR LIVING

A MACHINE TO LIVE IN

January 12 - 17HS - SALA MACA - 87'.

Yoni Goldstein, Meredith Zielke (2020).

A MACHINE TO LIVE IN is a hybrid documentary that links the power structures of the state with the mystical architecture of cults and utopian cities in the deep interior of Brazil. This "sci-fi" documentary offers a complex portrait of life, poetry and myth set against the backdrop of a space-age city like Brasilia in a burgeoning landscape of UFO cults and transcendental spaces. Moreover, he looks at the tightly controlled capital of Brazil not as a triumph or failure of his utopian desires, but as a domain for imagining the generation of alternative cosmologies. Architecture in this context is interpreted as semiotically porous and charged, and presents an inclusive possibility for new visions of the future.
