 ld cinema Eldorado\, Maison du peuple\nPlace Chauderon 5\, 1003 Lausanne\n
 \n6.40 p.m. – Projection of the short film Le Chant du styrène directe
 d by Alain Resnais in 1958\n7 p.m. – Projection of an extract from the 
 film Koyaanisqatsi directed by Godfrey Reggio in 1983\n7.15 p.m. – Disc
 ussion with Véronique Patteeuw and Benoît Rossel\, moderated by Romain B
 arth\, followed by an aperitif\n\nEvoking the ultimate matter\, the one th
 at remains after any valorization process\, comes down to talking about th
 e matter that is produced upstream\, from an industrial manufacturing proc
 ess.\n\nWhile Alain Resnais’s short film Le Chant du styrène traces the
  manufacturing chain of plastic by associating the machine with progress\,
  Godfrey Reggio’s film Koyaanisqatsi proposes an overabundance of images
  narrating the mass of industrial matter\, making explicit “the limits t
 o growth” – to quote one of the Club of Rome’s reports – while cre
 ating a dizzying sense of dread in the viewer. How can we represent and be
  represented by matter and its manufacturing process\, especially when it 
 is poorly documented? Do we perceive the industrial object as detached fro
 m its manufacturing process and from the social organization of production
  that is necessary for it?\n\nDuring an evening\, Véronique Patteeuw\, ar
 chitect\, teacher at EPFL and Benoît Rossel\, director\, teacher at ECAL\
 , will approach\, through a historical perspective\, the impact of matter 
 on the perception of our territory as well as our body and will cross thei
 r views in order to understand the narrative processes (of the order of ae
 stheticization\, mysticism or even a certain realism) which underlie the r
 epresentation of matter.\n\nA program organized with Romain Barth in the c
 ontext of the exhibition Ultimate Matter and the architecture and cinema s
 eries.\nIn collaboration with Ecrans Urbains\, Fondation CUB.
