The Forgotten Space
2010
Film, 113 min.
Materials: DCP, Digibeta, DV CAM, colour / black & white
Collection: The Estate of Allan Sekula, Los Angeles.
Allan Sekula is strongly influenced by the specifically American tradition of socially engaged photography. The film "The Forgotten Space" incorporates a strong local colour: as part of its ongoing investigation of the representation of labor in and outside the social-realist tradition Sekula takes the sculptural work of Belgian artist Constantin Meunier as a starting point while the film begins and ends in Doel (a small port town near Antwerp).
In co-direction with Noël Burch.
