Bêka & Lemoine

Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine are two of the foremost architectural artists working today. Their films focus on the relationship of people and design, emphasising the presence of everyday life within some of the most iconic architectural projects of recent decades.[1] Bêka's and Lemoine's complete work (16 films) has been acquired in 2016 by MoMA, Museum of Modern Art in New York, and is now part of its permanent collection.[2]

gollark: It's not like there's 2 hours of homework per day.
