The first time I saw, in Abitare, the story of Guadalupe Acedo, the housekeeper of OMA's House in Bordeaux, France designed for a wheelchair-bound client, I was intrigued by the focus on the housekeeper and the chores she must do to keep the house and its well-known mechanisms in a reasonable state after the occupant's death.
Koolhaas Houselife, the film by Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine that presents the story of Guadalupe is part of an upcoming exhibition at the Storefront for Art and Architecture, On Mock-ups, Home Videos and Housekeeping: a video exhibition in 3 parts, running from March 25 to May 3 (the Guadalupe portion will run from April 3 to the exhibition's close).
Here's a couple trailers from the filmmaker's blog.
