Michel LorandSIGHTLESS is filmed in the heart of the countryside. In the middle of a vast grassland, a collection of stones has been overgrown with brambles and weeds.

FRÄNZ ÜND KOFÖN [SERIAL]
Messieurs Delmotte“My work is not a performance – and actually even less of a good idea.” The videos by Messieurs – or Monsieur - Delmotte spare nothing or no one and they trivialize anything that comes within his reach, including himself.
