I’ve been watching the short films by Patrick Bernatchez this morning. They’re disturbing and haunting images, capturing in a few minutes human misery, despair and loneliness like suspense movies. “Empereur” from the series Crysalide has a Ronald McDonald sitting in a car slowly filling with water. The music of God Speed You Black Emperor works perfectly with the dark images.

The exhibition is held at Gallery West in The Hague.
