“筑”建人生

本片纪录下了爱尔兰现代建筑大师艾琳·格雷的创作与人生。这位20世纪最具有开拓性的设计者，用她独特的视野和创造性彻底改变了我们家装和建筑。她所属的那个年代，在室内装饰和家具设计领域，没有几个女人能与她相提并论。纪录片通过对多位研究格雷的学者、拍卖行、收藏家、艺术策展人等的访谈，用影像还原了这位神秘低调的建筑师，呈现了她对欧洲的建筑和室内设计审美产生的深远影响。艾琳·格雷传奇的一生,不仅是一个女性的奋斗史,更是一部自我觉醒,自我成长的励志书。Gray Matters explores the long, fascinating life and complicated career of architect and designer Eileen Gray, whose uncompromising vision defined and defied the practice of modernism in decoration, design and architecture. Making a reputation with her traditional lacquer work in the first decade of the 20th century, she became a critically acclaimed and sought after designer and decorator in the next before reinventing herself as an architect, a field in which she laboured largely in obscurity. Apart from the accolades that greeted her first building -persistently and perversely credited to her mentor-her pioneering work was done quietly, privately and to her own specifications. But she lived long enough (98) to be re-discovered and acclaimed. Today, with her work commanding extraordinary prices and attention, her legacy, like its creator, remains elusive, contested and compelling.
