THE RESIDENCE (working title) is an experimental story that follows an investor in an unspecified city: a city of images and projections, an environment at the same time real and imaginary, a place in which only one dream seems possible, that of the expression of a collective phantasy in an evermore globalized world. In THE RESIDENCE (working title) Vermeir/Heiremans scrutinize the porous relation between art, architecture and value, and the mediatization of these hybrid geographies. Their film focuses on specific global processes, which they intend to situate in a narrative framework that takes inspiration from Goethes Faust.
