PIECES OF BARCELONA
Alberta SessaWalks around a city; movement, people. A variety of moving and motionless objects. The gaze tries to catch up with what the city has to offer but the perspective is constantly crossed by passers-by, from left to right and right to left. For a moment they’re caught in the frame, a moment later they continue their journey and life outside the frame...
VIDÉO À LA CHAÎNE II - MARIAGE
Michel Bonnemaison - Joëlle de La Casinière - Jacques Lederlin - Enrique AhrimanOn the background a camera man suggests the viewer to record his or her marriage on video tape. Even if he is sad that the girl, of whom he’s recording images of her wedding dress, refused his proposal....

THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT
Peter FinnemoreThe greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions: this results in an elevation of the average surface temperature. Closed inside a greenhouse, Finnemore's troops dance on the rhythm of a lounge score and re-radiate an uncontrollable delight....
BRUSSELS, ROOM WITH A VIEW
Mira SandersAt dusk they show up by hundreds, maybe even a lot more. They fly from the left to the right, going up and then down again. Carried by the wind, they defy gravity. They float. Maybe there is a leader, a conductor, and the others know to follow him. The wind takes them everywhere, and together they make sculptures in the sky...
DE KUNST VAN HET VERKOPEN
Jef CornelisThis programme investigates the relationship and interaction between art and advertising with slight ironic overtones, because they both push forward beautiful images of a beautiful world. To some degree each artwork is a way of making publicity for its owner, a status symbol and trendsetter – just as long as it looks like what might pass of as art...
