    Synopsis

    Inspired by the Spartan aesthetic of some monastic cells, and in Le Corbusier’s concepts on the relation of proportions between architecture and man, French-Israeli artist Absalon imagined the project of building a series of inhabitable cells around the world. But he died at 29, before seeing it finished. Some of those cells exist in Prague, Paris and Frankfurt; others are just papers and scale models. From a conference held by the artist explaining his ideas and how he thought of conducting them, and visiting those places, the film raises an interesting reflection on cities, their relation with their architecture and inhabitants, and the concept of “virus” in modern society.
