Koovook is a fictional character created by Maëlle Gille in the early 2000s. Through him, the artist explores catharsis and forms of extreme music, blending punk, noise, black metal, industrial music, ambient, street art, and macabre poetry.✴︎ Nicolas Thévenin
Since 2015, Nicolas Thévenin has been designing experimental music video programming for movie theaters and festivals. Through chronological, thematic, or aesthetic approaches, he explores the narrative and visual possibilities offered by comparing audiovisual forms on the big screen.→ Looking forward to seeing you all at the bar and chatting with you in the different spaces of Gare XP
