La Cupola

The portrait of a house without supporting walls. A bold dome made of concrete, an open space –right in the middle of the bizarre rock formations of a rugged coast made of reddish granite. In the late 1960s actress Monica Vitti and director Michelangelo Antonioni commissioned architect Dante Bini to design their secret holiday home in a remote area of Sardinia. The emptiness of the “cupola” and the deserted quality of the site are the starting point for speculating – seemingly at random, gures wind up in the image and enter the dome, and even today, the utopia of an alternative concept of living seems to oat above its form. (http://www.cupolafilm.de)
