Architecture as Autobiography. The latest instalment of Heinz Emigholz's internationally lauded Photography and Beyond series renders homage to Austrian artist and visionary Frederick Kiesler (1890 - 1965), exploring two of his projects: the model for an Endless House, currently exhibited at the Kiesler Foundation Vienna, and The Shrine of the Book, designed and built in collaboration with Armand Bartos on the grounds of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The film is the final part of a cinematic trilogy on the buildings of Adolf Loos, Rudolph Schindler and Frederick Kiesler.
