One of A-Place's annual events is the commissioning by LOOP of a video production by an artist in residence to explore in depth the notion of "placemaking".
In 2023, documentary filmmaker Pau Faus, through his project "La máquina y el bosque", will investigate the different ways of conceiving nature.
Through a series of interviews, he will interweave the gaze of science, biology and philosophy. The combination of these three approaches - together with archive images, such as the complex experiments of the Synchrotron or the classic botanical illustrations - will generate an interesting dialogue on the current relationship between technology and nature or, in other words, between progress and ecology.

The Machine and the Flower
Whilst the machine grows and grabs all the headlines, the forest watches and heeds a silent warning.
