Gehry’s Vertigo shakes up the idealized image of one of the most iconic buildings of contemporary architecture: the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, built by Frank Gehry in 1997.
The film allows an immersion in the day-to-day life of this living myth and offers a rare and vertiginous trip on the top roofs of the building, putting us in the shoes of the climbers in charge of glass cleaning.
Surprisingly realistic and highly emotional, the film observes through their ascensions, techniques and difficulties, the complexity and virtuosity of Frank Gehry’s architecture.
