The Real Thing
Benoit Felici & Mathias Chelebourg, 2016, '67
Copying is as old as building itself. But what is real and what is a copy? Confusion about authenticity has only increased over the past half century under the influence of globalization. In The Real Thing, Benoit Felici and Mathias Chelebourg offer an entertaining look at a world in which the quest for identity is more important than ever. Join him on a fascinating global tour of an architectural funfair. Whether it’s London’s Tower Bridge in China, Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Ivory Coast, or a makeshift Taj Mahal in rural India, the film presents a Las Vegas-like carnival of amusement. What do these buildings say about the world from which they sprout? Is nobody concerned about The Real Thing anymore? And is that actually a problem?
