 | Meathead
Directed by: Kyle Heller
Behold! A man who has withdrawn from society. Now he lives in a field with a cherished pile of things that he adds to daily – a monument of junk, a shrine of things forgotten and discarded! An eager woman watches, follows, questions the recluse. Warped social convention, capitalistic worship, and the search for meaning all leer wearily at us before we’re able to retreat; back to the first degree amongst 364 others: a doomed and looping dance! |

 | Vanitas – Real and Natural
Directed by: Tuo Wang
Wang Tuo transformed two European fictions in the 19th century—Effi Briest (a realist novel by Theodore Fontane, 1894-95) and Thérèse Raquin (a naturalist novel by Émile Zola, 1867)—and placed them into a contemporary social context. By constructing all-encompassing environments where fiction and reality interweave, he attempts to examine the unreliable relationship between cultural archive and the contemporary human status. Dramatic and often humorous as well as absurd aspects of the concept of society are exposed during the process. |
