Trailer for a film about this Sardinian dome, a building which was commissioned by Michelangelo Antonioni and Monica Vitti, who then separated before its completion. There’s an interesting piece in T Magazine about this and a couple of other iconic buildings (FLW’s Talesin and Eileen Gray’s E.1027) which were also born of ill-fated romance.  (photo by Romain Courtemanche for M Magazine)

Structural violence creates lopsided structures of the imagination. Those on the bottom of the heap have to spend a great deal of imaginative energy trying to understand the social dynamics that surround them—including having to imagine perspectives of those on the top—while the latter wander about largely oblivious to much of what is going on around them. That is, the powerless not only end up doing most of the actual, physical labor that is required to keep society running, they also do most the interpretive labor as well.
