Trivial Matters IV: WASTE with an introductory lecture by Sandra Bartoli [CANCELLED]
Join us for the fourth instalment of a film-and-lecture-series on the metaphysics, politics, and aesthetics of architecture-related materials, featuring Agnès Varda's documentary 'The Gleaners and I' and a talk by architect Sandra Bartoli on the intricate history of waste management practices.
'The Gleaners and I' is a captivating documentary that takes us on a profound exploration of gleaning, ranging from those who collect leftover crops in fields after harvest to individuals who meticulously search through the dumpsters of Paris.
Through this film, we delve into the fascinating phenomenon of gleaning, which embraces a rich tapestry of interests, diverse life forms, and cultural situations. This intimate and adventurous documentary sheds light on the experiences of both those who engage in gleaning out of necessity and a Michelin chef who derives aesthetic pleasure from this practice.
The screening of the film will be preceded by an introduction from the esteemed architect and researcher, Sandra Bartoli.
