IJSBREKER 04: KUNST TE KOOP

Jef Cornelis - Freddy Coppens - Anton Stevens - Jackie Claeys

ROMANTICOS DE LAS MARISMAS

Luc Gobyn - Luke Aaron Clark - Luismí Garcia

GROSSE KLEINE WELT

Marie José Burki
Robert Walser wrote many CV’s – for employers, editors and so on – but we know little about himself. I started from a CV written by Walser, to which I added a line, and I looked for traces of Walser, or rather the absence of them, in the city and region where he was born.

ARBRE + PLUIE
