Synopsis The Story of Elfranko Wessels depicts the challenges faced by a collaborating New York City artist-couple in incorporating another person and point-of-view into their practice. Literally ensconced within the self-referential tradition represented by their white-walled live/work loft, they invite a South African émigré, Elfranko Wessels, in for an interview. Elfranko tells a story of escape from his confining, racist family and final arrival to the US, but by way of the occupying artist-couple — who have substituted their own singing voices for his plain speech.
