VERRE DE LAIT
Angel VergaraA glass of milk is shown being almost emptied twice, and slightly tilted once almost empty. The act of drinking the milk itself is not shown.

CONSTANT
Marie AndréA woman, a man, and a beach on the North Sea are the basic elements with which André constructs an elegant fiction of a couple, and deconstructs the codes and gestures of desire and betrayal. In her formal, rhythmic compositions, André observes the intimate detail and familiar gestures of the everyday with striking visual acuity...
