One of Pierre Creton’s first films was called La Vie après la mort / Life After Death and showed him in the house of a much older friend, Jean Lambert. Seven years after the death of his friend, he still lives in this house. He has taken up images form that time, patching them together, guided by the reading of Pavese’s Métier de vivre / Business of Living. Everyday acts induce supernatural thoughts.
Mersad Berber (1940-2012), is one of the greatest and the most significant representatives of Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Yugoslav art in the second half of the 20th century. His vast body of expressive and unique works triggered the local art scene’s recognition into Europe as well as the international stage.
Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques.
