İsmet has been working for a local TV station in Sivas for many years. Due to layoffs he finds himself as the technical officer of the station where he started as an office boy and tea vendor. Nowadays, İsmet is running tasks in and out the station all by himself. This documentary tells about the daily struggles that local stations with just a couple of motivated employees in small-town Anatolia go through as opposed to the national stations with thousands of employees and huge advertisement income.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
