THIS WAS NOT MY DREAM — Redux House

Pedro Kok & Gabriel Kogan, 2014.
Architecture by studio mk27, São Paulo, Brazil.
First screened at exhibition “Time, Space, Existence” of the International Architecture Exhibition of the Biennale di Venezia.

Pedro Kok narrates architecture with a very personal point of view: the art video. At a time when we are overly fascinated by the virtual, this instrument has the advantage of immediately communicating with the reality of things. Kok’s videos tell how people confront contemporary architecture, how they experience it and, most importantly, how they use it.
