Sophie Virilio and Sharon Rothberg
Paul Virilio: Bunker Archaeology

Host: Arch. Osnat Tadmor

Between the years 1958 and 1975, the French theorist and architect Paul Virilio (1932-2018) was engaged in the documentation and research of the military architecture established by the German army during World War II along the Atlantic coast of France. His daughter Sophie Virilio, who as a child accompanied her father during his research, will present this groundbreaking documentary research and talk with her father's student and friend, Sharon Rothbard.

Virilio is a journalist, photographer and successful novelist under pseudonyms. Since 2016, at her father's request, she has been working to spread his thought and legacy in France and abroad through a series of projects - the journal "Dromology", new editions of his books, exhibitions and conferences.
