Lithops - Graf - Oberhausen MuVi-Award

The Lithops video won the 3rd prize of the MuVi Award at the 55th International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.

Jury Statements:
We liked this video because it has a kind of negative grandeur, generated by an overdose of everyday ugliness, down to the grotesque masks of bland hot-topic politicians and website graphics standardised to death. The powers of the deliberately bored are mobilised against this lightly directed banal digital pollution.
