HISTOIRE DE MES CHEVEUX
Boris LehmanIn his own fashion Lehman has combined the story of Samson and Delilah, the journey of those condemned to the death camps, the science of hair and a few thoughts about the meaning and fragility of life. Lehman: "The story of my hair can be told in two lines. My hair was long and black. It has turned white. It hasn't been cut since 1982, almost thirty years ago...
APHASIA 3RD CHAPTER
Jelena JurešaThe starting point of Jelena Jureša’s interest in the evolution of a narrative constituting the final episode of Aphasia is a single photograph, which is never shown in the work, but its presence is almost tangible, heavy, almost to the point of materialising before our eyes.

THE OTHER
Peter DownsbroughA keen observer of the forces that shape society, Peter Downsbrough portrayed those forces elliptically in his work, particularly in the photographs and films he made in urban settings. THE OTHER is one of Downsbrough’s shortest films. It is also the last one. As concise and suggestive as a haiku, the work opens viewers’ imaginations to possibilities unexplored and worlds unknown...

The intention of recycling is to give new purposes to objects that were meant to be used only once. A male voice-over and steel drum music accompany the images. Recycling for non-artistic uses mostly takes place in the Third World and in the margins of Western cities...
