Between a poetic essay and a travel diary, L’acte d’habiter explores what it means today to 'inhabit' a heritage. Eight artists engage with Art Nouveau sites in Oradea, Aveiro, Nancy, Mons, and Brussels. By living and creating in these spaces, they reactivate an architectural memory that the film approaches as living matter, crossed by utopias and fractures, to further question our present.

L'acte d'habiter

And because of them is a publication and short film exploring one family’s archive through photographs, letters, drawings, maps, and documents. Spanning the UK, Canada, Syria, Belgium, and beyond, it traces a story of love, war, migration asking how personal ordinary archives shape the way we remember and transmit collective memory.

And because of them.
