Visual Acoustics

The above title is the name (Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman) of an absolutely amazing documentary on the incredible photographer Julius Shulman. I saw the very short teaser video of this on Wallpaper last year and bought it from SBS straight away. It’s predominantly architecturally focused, as Shulman was an architectural photographer, but the intensity of the film, the details of his life that they capture, and the dramatic influence his photographs had on the careers of Architects of the time (Gehry, Wright … ) enthralled me completely. I walked away from it having a completely fresh outlook on aspects of design … just stunning! 


Please do check it out if you get a chance … or better still, buy it!! :)
