The screening series curated by Her Space continues with a series of in-depth analyses of couples in the history of design, bringing the role of female figures, often marginalized in official narratives, back to the forefront.

 

Eames: The Architect & The Painter (2011)

Duration: 85′
Director: Jason Cohn, Bill Jersey

The film chronicles the collaboration and life of Charles and Ray Eames, one of the most influential design couples of the 20th century. Through archival materials, images of their projects, and firsthand accounts, the documentary highlights the ongoing dialogue between Charles's structural approach as an architect and Ray's sensitive, experimental gaze as a painter and artist.

Far from a purely celebratory narrative, the film conveys the complexity of a creative relationship based on collaboration, listening, and the cross-fertilization of disciplines. A story that invites us to reconsider Ray Eames's role in defining a visual language that has profoundly influenced design, architecture, and contemporary visual culture.trailer)

Her Space

A space dedicated to the history of women in Design and Architecture. The project, curated by Mara Bragagnolo, aims to enhance and remember the many women who have contributed to the design of our history and society, but who have often been unjustly forgotten. These tributes not only celebrate their work, but also seek to investigate the female methodology, proposing themselves as their own way of designing.
