LA FORCE DES CHOSES
Bernard MulliezThe film is a portrait of the father of the artist, who lived off a private income provided by a familial commercial empire—for which he simply had to thank his birth. Mulliez has tried to render visible the exterior forces that influenced this man. There’s of course the issue of money, but there’s also the matter of an interiorized user’s manual that comes with capital...
CASA
Michel François‘CASA’ is an extensive collage of film fragments, capturing numerous subjects and sensations. The artist makes an appeal to the five senses and the four elements.
