Bruce Mau: from the end of the world to the world as a medium.

Abstract

The review entitled Bruce Mau: from the end of the world to the world as medium, comments on and analyses the documentary "Mau" (2021) by the Austrian filmmakers Benji and Jono Bergmann. It highlights not only the figure of the internationally renowned designer, but also the narrative construction of the film product itself, because it is considered that its construction favours the highlighting of qualities of the person and work of the designer in question. Thus, the biography, the scenes of everyday life and the short interviews to break down the designer's thoughts are distributed with an attractive balance, while the different designs and their strategies appear and disappear like characters crossing a room in a scene.
