Togetherness, Hejduk Towers in Eisenman’s Cidade da Cultura de Galicia

For the second segment of the three channel video project Symphony of the Unknown - part II, I am shooting inside the museum, the library and the Hejduk Towers of Galicia’s deserted City of Culture in Santiago de Compostela. This ambitious, gigantic, six-building project was commissioned in 1999 to the architect Peter Eisenman. Twenty years later, two of its buildings remain unbuilt.
Lisbon-based architect, writer and curator Susana Ventura is writing the script for the voice over and the essay for the accompanying publication.

The project received a grant by DGArtes / MC (Portuguese Ministry of Culture) and is realized in collaboration with the Escola das Artes - Universidade Católica Portuguesa (Porto, Portugal). The exhibition will be presented in the gallery SEEA, at the Escola das Artes (May-June 2021). The accompanying publication will be launched on the occasion of the exhibition opening.
