//  I  MALAKIEF  //  has been created in the Sahara by a dutchbutoh dancer and a french video artist.

Inspired by notions from Deleuze and Guattari about the ´Body without Organs´,
non-narrative, experimental and improvisatorial have been the conceptual guidelines.
Activities of the ´character(s)´ vary from seemingly normal to animal-like.
The camera does not oblige to any rule.
The environment shows a 1001 faces.
A constant play with what is considered to be ´good´ editing and with the corresponding habits of the spectator.
