Against this background, the program travels from a visual poem about Oscar Niemeyer's Brasilia, built as a model city for the capital of Brazil at the end of the 1950s, and a documentary tracing the history of the Futuro plastic house, designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen at the peak of the Space Age in 1968, to an uncompromising look at today's American suburbia that is largely determined by issues of safety, privacy and surveillance. Vacancy, Matthias Müller, DE, 1998, 14' Futuro – A New Stance for Tomorrow, Mika Taanila, FIN, 1998, 29' In Order Not To Be Here, Deborah Stratman, USA, 2002, 33' INSIDE THE MACHINE FOR LIVING In Western modernity, the creation of new ways of living was strongly linked to the idea of the creation of »modern« men and women who adhere to functional standards, social hygiene and consumer habits. The complex implications and architectural renderings of this endeavour are addressed by a varied selection of films in the program, ranging from 1936 to 2005. Experimental images and sounds, silent documentary and satirical performances mix with the suggestive stance of a 1950s corporate advertisement introducing dream cars and a fully automatic Kitchen of Tomorrow.
