Tous les bons artistes de mon âge sont morts

Juan Dominguez (Spain)

55 minutes

Through the writings of Vilem Flusser, Juan Dominguez explores those very gestures that have become invisible through our contempt for the quotidian. We transform ourselves into a character: the spectator, with his attitudes, his codes, and his habits. An intriguing reflection on how to decode reality, a kind of “user’s manual for life”.
