Archifictions

In 2011 Benoît Peeters hosted a series of six sessions in the Centre Pompidou (Paris). These conferences will provide an opportunity for dialogue pushed between Benoît Peeters and personalities from the world of art (as the authors François Schuiten and Jean-Marie Apostolides, the composer Walter Hus and many others). All these meetings will be preceded by the screening of films and documentaries that will both cement and introduction to the conferences that will follow.

The session held on November 30, 2011 was named Archifictions.

Architecture supplies the literature (e.g. Species of Spaces by Georges Perec The House sheets of Mark Z. Danielewski), movies, comics and art. Sometimes, it ceases to be realized even to be pure fiction. Benoît Peeters met François Schuiten (designer of the Obscure Cities albums and stage designer), Philippe Rahm (architect and artist) and Didier Faustino (architect and artist).

The session started at 18h30 with showing the following movies: Projection de Urbicande (2003, 7’) de Simone Bücher, de Exploring Dead Building (2010, 13’52’’) de Didier Faustino et de Météorologie d'intérieur (2008, 3’37’’) de Philippe Rahm. The interviews started at 19hrs.
