Films by Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine are currently being shown at biennale’s worldwide. Bêka and Lemoine are Unit Masters with Gili Merin of the Diploma Unit 16: Homo Urbanus: Laboratory for Sensitive Observers.

The latest film by Ila Bêka & Louise Lemoine, BUTOHOUSE, is currently on show at Orléans Biennale of Architecture "Nos années de solitude" at FRAC Centre until 19/01/2020.

BUTOHOUSE is a brutalist portrait of Japanese architect-artist Keisuke Oka who has been building alone for the past 15 years his house in the center of Tokyo, just in front of a masterpiece by Kenzo Tange. Inspired by butoh dance, this concrete building follows the dynamic of an everyday total improvisation.

The long term project Homo Urbanus by Bêka & Lemoine, shot in 9 different cities (Bogotà, Saint-Petersburg, Tokyo, Kyoto, Shanghai, Doha, Rabat, Naples, Seoul), is now on show at: "Todo dia", 12th International Architecture Biennale in Sao Paolo (Brazil); "Un instant avant le monde", Biennale internationale d'art contemporain de Rabat (Morocco); "Amman Design Week" (Jordan)

Homo Urbanus is also the subject this year of Bêka & Lemoine's Diploma Unit program at the AA, within their "Laboratory for sensitive observers". More information on the unit.
