Logline: The curator’s stolen key appears in his own exhibition about the definition of contemporary Art. He faces the dilemma of reclaiming his key without breaking the manifesto.
My graduation film "Duty Free" is an absurd satire drama critiquing the world of contemporary art. The inspiration comes from the news about a performance art of eating a banana art piece a few years ago, and my artistic practises and experiences over the years. The idea I want to explore is the discussion of what art is in the post-modern world.
