Locument Romea Muryń + Francisco Lobo

Locument is a research studio that combines filmmaking with architecture and urban research. They use architecture and film as analytical, critical and subversive tools to emphasise contemporary issues and dissect their resolutions. They see the importance of observing rapidly changing social conditions through the influential factors of technology, economy, politics and urban environment.

Drawing from contemporary scenarios, Locument travels to unique locations to base their research topics, finding in them situations that, while site-specific, reflect problematics that resonate throughout the globe. Bringing out these underlying stories, their work focuses on recreating the complex storyline hidden under the surface of the visible spectrum. In a world moving exponentially faster, they see the importance of slowing down, researching, analysing, documenting and capturing a network of often contradictory points of view, thus revealing the narratives that influence our reality. Locument envisions the future and the past, and not the least, our time. (www.locument.com)
