A highspeed-journey through the spinal cord of Adolf Loos.

For their film "The Man with Modern Nerves", Bady Minck and Stefan Stratil built a model based on sketches by the architect Adolf Loos, which he had originally designed in 1923 for a city-hall project in Mexico-City. The step-pyramid of his sketches is not only animated in their mise en scène, but becomes involved in an abstract game of geometric forms, light and shadows, reminiscent of certain films of the 20ies, like Oskar Fischinger's "Orgelstäbe". More than just an animation of the model, the film reveals Adolf Loos's architectural concepts of surface and the volume of space.
(Jean-Michel Bouhours "La ville et le cinéma", Éditions Centre Pompidou, Paris 1994)
