The Story of Elfranko Wessels, a video installation with original music performed by the artists, depicts portraiture within a portrait: a stammering subject tells his immigration tale in a two-camera interview which occurs around and between the varied boundaries of the artists’ lives.This 2011 work premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and tells the coming-of-age story of a South African man, the son of a white miner. Moskowitz and Trager sing the voice of the talking-head Elfranko Wessels shown recounting his story.
