Filmographie
  • Sexus, film de Gilles Coudert (7 min / 2004 / a.p.r.e.s production) Ce documentaire présente l’exposition de Kendell Geers au centre d’art Cimaise et Portique à Albi. Il y développe un travail liant expérience de vie, aspects sociaux, moraux, politiques et art. Son œuvre explore les dimensions les plus intimes du psychisme humain, les notions de désir et de pulsion, affirmant une réversibilité entre horreur et extase, entre violence et érotisme.
