ET / C
Peter DownsbroughWith his videos Downsbrough creates natural portraits of urban environments. Everyday surroundings are observed, dissected and transformed into architectural illustrations, with a proper sense of order and chaos.

THE CRY
Ria PacquéeIn various outdoor locations, a cry is performed.

SAY HELLO TO PEACE AND TRANQUILITY
Martin Wittwer - Dagmar KellerIn ‘Say Hello to Peace and Tranquility’, we find ourselves in a projected world of deserted suburbia. Terrace town homes slowly slide by, offering an endless panorama of wide sidewalks, tidy front gardens, latched facades and gabled houses. The absence of people appears completely normal; even the little lap dog that motionlessly slides into view does not seem that out of place...
