Discover the work of architect Bijoy Jain at this screening of Bêka & Lemoine’s latest film and join us for a Q&A with the directors.
The Sense of Tuning captures the energy of a day-long encounter between Bijoy Jain and Bêka & Lemoine – twelve hours of intense wandering, plunging us into the vital energy of the streets of Mumbai. The filmmakers take us on a journey spanning the intimacy of the studio, observations of the city and visits to production sites, revealing how closely Bijoy Jain’s work is tied to the city of Mumbai.
Bêka & Lemoine have been working together for 15 years questioning through their films how people relate to architecture and urban space. Their innovative and witty cinematic work puts people at the centre of buildings and shows the surprising and moving ways spaces are used. The New York Times describes them as "cult figures in the European architectural world". Their work was featured in our recent exhibition Herzog & de Meuron.
