Presentation

« "Birds, birds... It's not human, it's not human", Arthur Tarwitz repeats incessantly. He travels in his memory and in his dreams just like he speaks, with finicky precision, counting his steps as he goes. He sharply dissects the private side of his life into little crumbs, according to his random memories. He wanted to be born out of the mouth of a bird.» Patrick Lerch
« A man is sitting quietly in his living room when a star shape appears in the window opposite him, about ten metres away. Initially, he is not particularly disturbed by it. Then he understands the reason for this little drama of everyday life: it is a rifle bullet which is heading straight for his forehead. Someone is trying to kill him, but who ? And why ? He has less than a second to answer these questions. A second which is stretched to the limit, allowing him the time to see another bullet getting nearer, centimetre by centimetre.» Laurent Van Wetter
