SILVERLEAF
Adam LeechAdam Leech produces videos with a narrative touch. The protagonists of these stories are usually archetypical inhabitants of ‘the American suburbia’ we are familiar with from countless television series.

THRENODY FOR THE VICTIMS OF HIROSHIMA
Steve Reinke - James RichardsThis is really James Richards project: it was his idea and he shot the stuff. but dissatisfied with it, asked it I might try my hand with the material.

It's the only time she appears in feminine fashion and much more make-up than usual...
OMNIUM GALLORUM FORTISSIME CANTANT BELGAE
