What is it about Mies 421 that led Maria Taniguchi to describe the work as “my horror movie”?

 

In this talk, Joshua Comaroff explores how the film connects a series of uncomfortable ideas—from the spectral architecture of the Barcelona Pavilion to accelerating time, “dead” labour, and images and afterimages in the era of AI and social media—to speculate on its significance today.

 

The session will conclude with a panel discussion featuring Maria Taniguchi, moderated by exhibition curator Duncan Bass.
