Monograph dedicated to the work of French television filmmaker, producer, scenarist, and a href="index_theme.php?id=160&menu=4">video art pioneer Jean-Christophe Averty.
Caustic humour, jazz, visual layouts and special effects: Jean-Christophe Averty's television work is characterized by a perpetual inventiveness—together with an absolutely impure perception of electronic creation. Averty's style shows rare “technical intelligence”, not in terms of mastership or skills, but in support of imagination.
