1:1 Sets for Erwin Olaf & Bekleidung1:1 Sets for Erwin Olaf & Bekleidung

As part of the exhibition _1:1 Sets for Erwin Olaf & Bekleidung _Emigholz' films D'Annunzio's Cave and Ornament and Crime (by Adolf Loos) will be screened non stop in the auditorium of Het Nieuwe Instituut.

From 22 January until 2 February the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) is taking place. Het Nieuwe Instituut will be screening 6 films by the German experimental film director Heinz Emigholz.

In Ornament and Crime, Emigholz shows 27 still-existing buildings and interiors by Austrian architect Adolf Loos in order of their construction. Loos' vehement turn against ornamentation on buildings triggered a controversy in architectural theory.

D'Annunzio's Cave is the only part [of Photography and Beyond] devoted to architecture Emigholz genuinely loathes: Gabriele d'Annunzio's Villa Cargnacco. Edited from four independent yet parallel eight-hour sessions inside the beast, it is a unique example of formalist outrage. One of Emigholz's finest works. [source: IFFR website].
