GIROUETTE

Mira Sanders
Sanders films a weather vane on the Nieuwe Graanmarkt/ Nouveau marché au Grains in the centre of Brussels. Looking through the eye of the camera, it takes Sanders a little while to realize that at a certain moment, once the wind is blowing, the gilded weather vane has a blinding effect in the sun.

STAGING SILENCE (2)

Hans Op de Beeck

MISSED CLONING

Messieurs Delmotte

TIGER SKIN

Messieurs Delmotte

Messieurs Delmotte fools around with our perception in yet another of his idiosyncratic short performances. This work is part of the series The Mental Reason Vol. 1...
