- A duo of performance artists embarked in May 2015 on a month-long walk from Germany through Poland to the Russian region of Kaliningrad, to perform on location of true events of post-WWII displacements.
- In a film of philosophical, poetic action, a collective of contemporary artists root out the liminal, spectral and ritual of art in prehistoric Ice Age caves.
- VestAndPage's first film trilogy, "sin fin", presents three medium-length art films of collaborative performances co-created with epic environments worldwide. Teetering between the real and the visionary, these films feature the artists undertaking surreal and ephemeral acts. Amplified by the unfamiliar environments, the performances reflect on universal human experiences such as altruism, partnership and the transient nature of existence. The concluding episode, filmed in Antarctica, engages with narratives on nature and the universe. Here, the two characters move through the deserted, icy vastness of a oneiric land. They find themselves creatures being torn between life and death, absence and misleading mirages, fortune and emptiness. The flux of nature is mercilessly immense, where the wind sings its laments and silence its lullaby. All paradises are merciless in a search for Beauty where anything is a Mirror. Is there any game left to be played? Is there someone left to call for when clocks don't display time anymore, and no compass is guiding one's way? Who's the player and who's the pawn, and whose turn is it when civilisation has lost its quotidian schemes, and just basic rules count? In the backdrop of Antarctica, a place where humans have neither roots nor a future but only a frail and temporary presence always at risk, all questions inevitably lead to humbleness.

The second episode is located in Northern India and Kashmir, highlighting the topic of society and religion. The two characters move through the lanes of an imaginary city, encountering visions and memories of excess and absence, loss and overflow, surrender and hope. In the quest for their personal definition of what is the holy center, they confront themselves with the prosaic realities of India. It is as if there was neither inside nor outside, but textures and edges. Their acts are centrifugal, remembrances splint all over the ground, waiting to be picked up after having travelled so far. The characters circulate and watch at themselves as strangers who are drawn to stop by in the process of adding their stories to others. Unrevealing and revealing are accretive. Meanings and signs, which are layered over ruins and the history dust, are peeled off one by one to be connected and set forth in a map of fragmented time.

Teetering between the real and the visionary, these films feature the artists undertaking surreal and ephemeral acts. Amplified by the unfamiliar environments, the performances reflect on universal human experiences such as altruism, partnership and the transient nature of existence. In the first episode, two nameless characters move through structures of interior spaces stuffed with visions and memories. Dream sequences combined with quotidian reality coincide here in the backdrop of Patagonia. The characters circulate, inscribe, and watch at themselves as strangers who are drawn to stop by in the process of adding their stories to others. The film's text is an organic maceration of thoughts and dreams as a flux of consciousness of the characters.
