Marion Baruch and the house on the hill

Who is Marion Baruch? 

She is a vagabond, a cosmopolitan who traversed Europe in the darkest moments between the wars and in the adventurous ones of reconstruction and then youth uprisings.

In this documentary, the artist interrogates herself and investigates her own memory in an interview that briefly traces some significant moments in her life and career. The narrative traverses the spaces of a warehouse where some works from the past coexist with drafts of works in development. Through an alternating montage, art and architecture dialogue through the figures of Marion Baruch and architect Carlo Moretti, who narrate the construction of the splendid house built during the 1960s in Gallarate, not far from Milan. The story moves from the Stalinist period in Romania to studies in Fine Arts in Israel, from the first exhibitions to Paris, and then to Milan, from the reuse of fabric scraps, to Dress - Container, to the approach to design, to the most recent provocations on the meaning of artistic production.
