Wim Wenders’ new 3D documentary, *From Inside Out: The Architecture of Peter Zumthor*, chronicles the 14-year process of filming the Pritzker Prize-winning Swiss architect. The film explores Zumthor’s work, from the 1988 St. Benedict’s chapel to the recently completed $724 million David Geffen Galleries at LACMA.
The project began in 2012 when curator David Chipperfield invited Wenders to create a short film about Zumthor for the Venice Architecture Biennale. This initial two-day shoot in Zumthor’s office in Haldenstein, Switzerland, resulted in *Notes on a Day in the Life of an Architect*, but Wenders felt it only scratched the surface. “At the end, we shook hands on ‘doing something real together,’” Wenders said. “Little did we know that the journey would last 14 years…”
*From Inside Out* features Zumthor’s diverse portfolio, including a memorial for burned witches above the Arctic Circle, and culminates with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s (LACMA) David Geffen Galleries, Zumthor’s largest building, commissioned almost two decades ago. Brad Pitt, a supporter of Zumthor’s LACMA bid, joined the project as an executive producer.
Wenders explained his motivation for the film, stating, “Buildings cannot repair the world, but they can change our idea of what the world could be.” He also discussed his kinship with Zumthor and the necessity of using 3D to capture the essence of architecture, as well as what craftsmanship can teach in the age of AI.
