running time: 11 min.
synopsis
A philosophical portrait of situationalists Herbert Holl and Kza Han, who believe in revolution through art. They live on an island where they have written poems and translated the work of Alexander Kluge. Together they enter a landscape with gestures and artifacts as their considerations for symbols and individuality permeate though film sketches from their everyday life."We love Herbert and Kza’s way of thinking. So we tried to traslate that in little performance. Each day we came up with a strange idea. They were surprised, but always put confidence in us."
biography
Camille Tricaud studied philosophy while Felix Herrmann studied history and the Persian-Farsi language. They currently live in Germany, studying at the Department of Documentary Film at the Munich Television and Film School. They often develop their own relationship to beauty through portraits of other artists, like for example Camille Tricaud in Couz (2017), a film about young rappers, and Felix Herrmann in Rough Diamonds ( 2015), dedicated to the Austrian poet Ianina Ilitcheva.more about film
