Description:
“The film Interiors (2006), portrays two women wandering through the London home of architect Ernö Goldfinger and his wife Ursula, a house, which was a meeting point for the 1930s intelligentsia. They never meet but ultimately, a replica of a sculpture of Barbara Hepworth, as a different perception of time and reality, become both a separating as well as a binding element between the contrasts of the traditional modern.”
—”Interiors,” website of Ursula Mayer.

Interiors, 2006, features two women of two generations walking through Goldfinger’s 1930s north London home. They do not meet, ascending and descending its spiral staircase and occupying its rooms through movement and touch. Their focus is a rotating sculpture by Barbara Hepworth, which becomes a beacon for silent communication between two generations.”
