In 1974, we find ourselves in Greece under military rule. Georgis, an innocent tourist, is accused of being a member of an illegal underground organization. Captured by two secret agents, Georgis embarks on a journey to be taken to the secret service headquarters in Athens under surveillance, but the journey is fraught with pursuit and traps. This Kafkaesque comedy, bearing the signature of Peter Fleischmann, one of the representatives of the Young German Cinema movement and the free-spirited directors of the silver screen, features legendary actors Mario Adorf and Michel Piccoli, with Ugo Tognazzi accompanying them.

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.
