New Documentation of Future Cinema now in Japan

[Made in DNA]

Hi, I'm afraid I missed what this has to do with cinema. Looks like art. 
Great art I'm sure, but the pictures are so small, and I have no German 
skills to speak of, so... I'm lost. Someone hit me with a baseball bat 
please.

Happy Holidays,
Made in DNA
