A dual screen portraying a conversation between the past and present. Present, seated across from Chicago, poses questions for his counterpart. What was the secret rationale behind your confidence? How can the gesamtkunstwek and speculative space work together? And what is architecture? From the margins of the scene, the director and crew pose commentary and debate the intentions of the dialogue, address issues of the text, and adjust the delivery. Present speaks for today’s questions, Chicago is composed entirely from text assembled for the Art Institute’s Chicago Architects Oral History Project. What plays out is a call for new architecture: an architecture of noise and hollow mass. An architecture beginning at the end.
