LA SORTIE DES USINES VW
Angel VergaraAt the Volkswagen factory, Vergara shot hours of material of workers leaving the building. He filmed most of the images indirectly: the artist had set up his camera in front of shop-windows and other windows, which causes a reflection or a multi-layered image. With its purpose and its title, the work echoes ’La sortie des usines Lumière (1895)...

THE NATURAL LOOK
Steve Reinke"There is no future in reproduction. I have no concern with any species extending itself through time. You think you have given birth to a baby, when really you have given birth to a bus driver, or tax collector. Instead I'm interested in the placenta, the real mother of us all, forgotten discarded.

FRÄNZ ÜND KOFÖN [PART]
Messieurs DelmotteA short video, part of a serial, in which Monsieur Delmotte pretends to be a German Artist. Standing in front of a door, he holds a seemingly very serious and highbrow speech in a language that is supposed to represent German. Only here and there words like “Ausstellung, Künstles, Sheisse,…” are understandable. This work is part of the series FränZ ünd KoFöN...
