ДОМ НОВОГО БЫТА (Dom Novogo Byta)

Re:centering periphery # 2 – Moscow (45 min., col. 2013)
A film by ogino:knauss
Directed by Manuela Conti and Lorenzo Tripodi

Dom Novogo Byta is the diary of an exploration in the imagined and built landscape of Moscow, confronting utopian visions emerged in the light of the October revolution with the reality of contemporary post-communist Russia. The film starts from the dilapidated Narkomfin building, hardly surviving today in a central plot of land appealing for real-estate speculators. Designed in 1927 by Moisei Ginzburg, this is one of the earlier projects to absorb Le Corbusierian modernist principles. The Narkomfin was a prototype for revolutionary communes to come, aimed at reforming the everyday life of Russian citizens together with their spatial environment. Its utopian aspirations were soon annihilated by the rise to power of Stalin. From the story of the Narkomfin, the film progressively traverse cinematic landscapes advanced by propaganda, finally getting lost into the newly built massive urbanisation of the harsh periphery of Moscow.
