Louise Hervé, Clovis Maillet
Pythagoras and the Monsters
For the exhibition at the Kunstverein Braunschweig, the French artist duo Louise Hervé & Clovis Maillet produced the 8mm film Pythagoras and the Monsters. In this film, the ancient mathematician and philosopher becomes a film hero: he plays the main role in a mixture of western, historical and gladiator film. Not only the film, but also the poster is inspired by the aesthetics of the so-called "sword and sandal films" of the 1960s. It was specially made for the exhibition by the French poster painter Dominique Bertail.
