Pyramid Schemes

About This Movie

Pyramid Schemes is an intriguing documentary that dives deep into the interplay of architecture and power through its eleven chapters. Lawrence Lek weaves together a tapestry of visuals from Assassin's Creed and other simulated worlds that challenge our perceptions of built environments. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing us to linger on the complex structures that define our realities. It's not just about buildings; it's about the narratives inscribed within them. The film’s distinctive use of gaming footage gives it an immersive quality that’s hard to shake off. It raises questions about authority and control, which are ever-relevant. If you're into the philosophical aspects of design, this one's worth examining.
