ERIK KESSELS, our hands down fave of the festa

Witnessing the work of Erik Kessels and having been lucky enough to happen upon the exhibition while he was
giving a guided talk about it, was the high point of visual stimulation of the Recontres D'Arles. Working entirely with found footage, this Dutch artist has editing skills that humor and challenge the viewer to consider what we think to discard and where our images do/will end up after our demise or in our lifecycles. Witty, articulate and unapologetic, Jenny and I give it a four thumbs up. Yup.
