\u201c\u00d6pfelch\u00fcechli\u201d (\u201cFried Apple Rings\u201d) is a film essay by David Menzi that explores the transformation of Swiss farmland into suburban sprawl and the parallel erosion of cultural memory. Central to the film is the memory of a dish from his grandmother\u2019s kitchen, intimately linked to the apple trees that once surrounded the family home in Volketswil, a suburb of Zurich. As Menzi recalls, \u201cWhenever I smell the aroma of the dish, I have very vivid memories of picking apples from the farmland.\u201d Through these sensory memories, the film connects personal notes with broader issues of environmental and cultural change.
Using overlapping aerial images, found footage from the family archive, and sequences capturing the current landscape, \u00d6pfelch\u00fcechli traces how the land was transformed into a generic suburban cluster of gas stations, parking lots, and industrial developments. The film creates a juxtaposition of different contemplative media that allows viewers to perceive both the changes in the landscape and in cultural memory.
\u00d6pfelch\u00fcechli functions not only as a metaphor for the traces of a vanished landscape, but also as a reflection on the disappearance of biodiversity caused by urban sprawl. The film invites the audience to reflect on their own heritage and the environments they inhabit.
The film was inspired by and developed from conversations about \u201cUrban Food\u201d with G\u00fcnther Vogt at ETH Z\u00fcrich in 2022.
David Menzi (he\/him, b. 1992) spent a year collaborating with professionals beyond the field of architecture in pursuit of post-disciplinary ambitions. He completed his architectural studies in Zurich, Switzerland, and Ahmedabad, India. Through his practice and encounters, Menzi explores issues of placemaking, narrative construction, collaborative processes, and more.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2928,"template":"","evento-passado":[55],"local":[35],"tipo-de-atividade":[61],"tipo-de-forum":[],"class_list":["post-2927","programacao","type-programacao","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","evento-passado-sim","local-pavilhao-da-oca","tipo-de-atividade-exposicao"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\u00d6pfelch\u00fcechli \u2013 Retracing urban memory through food - 14\u1d43 Bienal Internacional de Arquitetura de S\u00e3o Paulo<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/bienaldearquitetura.org.br\/en\/programacao\/opfelchuechli-retracing-urban-memory-through-food\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"\u00d6pfelch\u00fcechli \u2013 Retracing urban memory through food - 14\u1d43 Bienal Internacional de Arquitetura de S\u00e3o Paulo\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Implanta\u00e7\u00e3o do projeto: Su\u00ed\u00e7aDesenvolvimento do projeto: Su\u00ed\u00e7a \u201c\u00d6pfelch\u00fcechli\u201d (\u201cAn\u00e9is de Ma\u00e7\u00e3 Fritos\u201d) \u00e9 um filme-ensaio de David Menzi que explora a transforma\u00e7\u00e3o de terras agr\u00edcolas su\u00ed\u00e7as em expans\u00e3o suburbana e a paralela eros\u00e3o da mem\u00f3ria cultural.
