Ecce Mole

The film contrasts the narrow Casa Scaccabarozzi with the imposing Mole Antonelliana, which currently houses the Museo Nazionale del Cinema. Emigholz employs his distinctive metrical cutting and oblique framings to delve into the spatial and symbolic dimensions of cinema. By juxtaposing the buildings' different scales and functions, Ecce Mole offers a unique perspective on architectural contrasts and their cinematic implications.

As part of Emigholz’s long-standing inquiry, the film reflects on how these landmark structures embody both domestic and civic qualities. The exploration of interior versus exterior spaces invites viewers to consider the relationships between modesty and monumentality, enhancing the discourse on architecture within the realm of film. This work is significant for those interested in the intersection of cinematic art and architectural design.
