Price On Request Louidgi Beltrame’s work is based on documenting modes of human organisation throughout the history of the 20th century. He travels to sites defined by a paradigmatic relation to modernity: Hiroshima, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, Chandigarh, Tchernobyl or the mining colony of Gunkanjima, over the sea off Nagasaki. His films - based on the recording of reality and the constitution of an archive - appeal to fiction as a possible way to consider History.Brasilia/Chandigarh2008Video 26’, Soundtrack : Dennis Mc Nulty.Two architects dreamed to build the ideal city: Oscar Niemeyer created Brasilia in the middle of the Brazilian Mato (savanna). Le Corbusier went to India to build Chandigarh. Both cities sit like futuristic, concrete mementos of their constructors in the landscape, the few inhabitants we see are mere dwarves. The geometries of Brasilia and Chandigarh construct the film and a dialog is created between both cities.i
