Guy Debord
The Society of the Spectacle
This film is based on the 1967 book of the same name. It’s a radical critique of mass marketing and its role in the alienation of modern society.

Making Clouds
Berndnaut Smilde performs magic. I don’t need to know how he’s creating his indoor clouds but I love it. I totally share his fascination with clouds.

Robert Beatty’s artworks are exceptionally peculiar and seem impossible to pin down.

The Yanomami Struggle
Andujar’s legacy is a shining example of art and activism coming together as one.
Benoit Paillé
Nightscapes wrapped in color
I love Benoit Paillé’s unusual and sensationally effective way to work with light and color.
