Abstract

Harun Farocki's last film, Sauerbruch Hutton Architects (2013), is studied by comparing it to other works by the director and analyzing its scenes. The article elaborates what is the position of this office regarding architecture as a producer of images, and then verifies what is its underlying spatiality. As a result, one can see how the aesthetic projects of Harun Farocki and the Sauerbruch Hutton office are aligned.
