The Hammer

The Hammer

"Four minutes long, a commission, the hammer flies. A film on an artist."

The hammer is the tool a sculptor uses to chip away at the block. It is the emblematic tool of French artist Jean-Luc Vilmouth. Akerman here instigates a game of musical chairs. The winner is then permitted to hurl the hammer out into the starry night.
