Description

Studios are complex environments that embody both material and symbolic forms. They serve as sites for artistic creation and physical labor, while also playing a crucial role in shaping virtual spaces-worlds built to build worlds. By examining these architectural places, we can gain new insights into the dynamics of moving-image culture. This collection brings together a diverse range of studios from around the world, including Pinewood, Cinecittà, Churubusco, and CBS, as well as experimental workplaces of filmmakers and artists such as Aleksandr Medvedkin, Charles and Ray Eames, and Hollis Frampton. By foregrounding these worlds, we can uncover new stories about the evolution of studio culture and its impact on film and media history. Spanning several decades, this unique collection sheds light on the often-overlooked world of studios, revealing their significance in shaping our understanding of moving-image culture.
