The closing installment of Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy follows a twelve-year-old boy struggling to survive in the ruins of Berlin's streets. Young Edmund lives in a bombed-out apartment flat with his siblings and an ill father. While wandering aimlessly in the streets, Edmund gets entangled in black market schemes set up by a group of youths and falls under the influence of a Nazi-sympathizing former teacher and other malicious characters. Boasting a much bleaker atmosphere than its predecessors, Germany Year Zero reveals the devastating effects of fascism on individuals and societies with a sharp and jarring realism.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
