Fundamental Acts – Out of print

Fundamental Acts proposes a collective reformulation of five great themes of the human existence – Life, Education, Ceremony, Love and Death - based on a palimpsest provided by Superstudio in 1972. The Fundamental Acts were conceived as a series of films centred on the relationship between architecture and the acts of human life. The films were sketched out in storyboard format and later published as a series of documents in the magazine Casabella. The first - Life: Supersurface - was shown at MoMA in the exhibition Italy: The New Domestic Landscape. The Fundamental Acts have been (re)produced by a group of international contributors. Each contributor submitted a document that investigates a specific art. Every document contains material produced in different formats. It can include text, drawings, a catalogue of images, an architectural project, a storyboard, photos of models, photos documenting a performance. The number of pages in the document is open. The documents have been collected in the five chapters of this book.
