GEHRY’S VERTIGO
Film screeing. Introduced by Elena Del Drago

The film offers the spectator a thrilling journey in the footsteps of the team of climbers entrusted with cleaning the glazing of Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum. Discussing their techniques and the problems they encounter, the film observes from a new point of view the complexity and virtuosity of the forms conceived by Frank Owen Gehry.
