How to Build a Museum: Episode 1
How to Build a Museum: Episode 1
1:29

How do you build a museum? Start with a line, a page, and a little imagination

In this series of ten animated episodes commissioned by M+, French artist Vincent Broquaire responds to the complexity of the museum’s architecture and engineering with a meeting of whimsical fantasy and realistic sonic effects. Step by step, a working man coolly guides us through a gonzo construction process of accordion staircases, inflatable towers, and moveable horizons. Step one? Conjure some ceramic rods from thin air.

Broquaire’s animations frequently explore man’s relationship with nature and the built environment, offering a poetic commentary on the paradoxes of our world and a blueprint for rebuilding it according to our imaginations. M+ commissioned these animations to document the museum's complex multi-year building project from a new, playful perspective.
