Bassibus in Barcelona

Leo Bassi, Spain, 2005/24min/Courtesy Conservas. In July 2005, during the InnMotion festival, comedian Leo Bassi brought the Bassibus to Barcelona.

Kapitaal

Studio Smack, Netherlands/7:04min/ Commissioned by De Beyerd Museum Kapitaal (Capital) is an impression of the enormous amount of stimuli that we are harassed by in our every day environment. The amount is so big that its commercial effectiveness becomes utterly dubious.
