The first edition of Frontiers is dedicated to Forensic Architecture, a reality capable of proposing a new use of found footage, renewing the possibilities of documentary cinema today.
Forensic Architecture (FA) is a research agency, based at Goldsmiths University of London, that investigates human rights violations, including violence committed by states, police forces, the military and corporations. Forensic Architecture’s investigations utilise state-of-the-art spatial and architectural analysis techniques, open source investigations, digital modelling and immersive technologies, as well as documentary research, on-site interviews and academic collaborations. What do drones, explosions, shipwrecks and environmental crimes have to do with architecture? We look forward to seeing you at Lago to find out!
