Denis van Waerebeke Explores the Void in New Arte.tv Series "Avatars du vide"
Denis van Waerebeke's "Avatars du vide" arrives on Arte.tv as an erudite, humorous and personal examination of how emptiness has been represented across roughly two thousand five hundred years. The filmmaker previously made "Voyages au pays des maths" for the same broadcaster. Le Monde's review characterizes the new programme as a witty work of popularization tackling a complex notion, blending scholarship with an intimate register.
