Empty House is a fascinating documentary that takes you through the remnants of a once vibrant space in Irun, where artists Jorge Oteiza and Nestor Basterretxea thrived. The film's pacing is contemplative, almost meditative, allowing viewers to soak in the atmosphere of decay and creativity that lingers in the walls. It’s not just about the house, but what it represents—a dialogue between art and space. The visuals are striking, with a focus on shadows and light that adds to the haunting quality. There’s a rawness to the storytelling, letting the viewer feel the absence of the artists without draping it in sentimentality. It’s more about the essence of a place and the ghosts that reside there than a traditional documentary narrative.
