Tomás Saraceno, Artist
'ON AIR' Exhibition, Film Documentary

We had the honor to produce an artist documentary of Tomás Saraceno‘s exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. ON AIR is made of a myriad presences, both animate and inanimate, that meet and cohabit within it. It proposes a space and time that makes manifest the forces and entities that float in the air, and their interactions with us: from CO2 to cosmic dust, from radio infrastructures to reimagined corridors of mobility. It was one of a kind show…

Andy Hope 1930, Artist
‘Vertical Horizon’, Art Film Project

VERTICAL HORIZON is situated “after the future,” as Franco Berardi puts it, when utopian visions have come to an end. Fran Athens, a character shifting between masquerade and sci-fi personage, tries to resist this proclamation of finitude, creating the illusion of embodying a character within a “real” science fiction narrative. Shown at La Biennale di Venezia 2017.
