FIRST ELECTIONS [V.2 - 2007]

Sarah Vanagt
Goma (Eastern Congo), April 2005. A group of children act out the elections that are to take place in a few weeks — the first democratic elections since the country won independence. The children’s election game comes about naturally, without outside staging of any kind. It includes a lot of violence, and death. The players imitate the discourse of various political leaders...

MOVING OUT

Geoffroy De Volder
‘Moving out’ is a contradictory film about altering loves. Constructed as an audio-visual compilation in which random indications of childhood, sexuality and passion are brought together as a broken nuptial, this film has an overwhelming intensity that relives the alienation and exposure throughout the story of a physical confrontation that threatens us and tears us apart...

STANDING OVATION

Bernard Gigounon
The original soundtrack of a clip excerpted from Jean Renoir’s short film ‘Une partie de campagne’ (1936) picturing a river under heavy rain has been switched. Applauses in a concert hall are here recalling the sound of the rain. The video was originally edited as part of an in-situ installation during a concert by Martha Argerich at the Royal Music Academy...

4 X 4 - EPISODES OF SINGAPORE ART : EPISODE 4: LIM TZAY CHUEN – THE INVISIBLE ARTWORK

Tzu Nyen Ho
In this episode, Lim Tzay Chuen’s 'Alter #11' (2002) is reflected on. 'Alter #11' involves a bullet, intended to be fired into a gallery. As in other works by Lim, a very small physical alteration is intended to be brought about through a disproportionately large amount of work, often involving endless negotiations, so that the end will never be achieved...

THE RETURN OF THE WITNESS

Ria Pacquée
In "The Return of the Witness" Ria Pacquée distils her concern for the passing infra-ordinary world into a series of probing contrasts between the chaotic thoroughfares of King’s Cross St Pancras and the barren railways lands nearby. “Following the crowd will lead you to destruction!” shouts a woman at Speakers’ Corner...

DE KLEUREN VAN DE GEEST

Jef Cornelis
De kleuren van de geest (The colours of the mind) was broadcasted on October 28th 1997. It is the last Cornelis programme for the BRT. It's a fresh and penetrating visual essay about trance (music), iconography and disembodiment along our history. Cornelis wanders through epochs and regions, cultures and artistic practices...

CONSTANT

Marie André
A woman, a man, and a beach on the North Sea are the basic elements with which André constructs an elegant fiction of a couple, and deconstructs the codes and gestures of desire and betrayal. In her formal, rhythmic compositions, André observes the intimate detail and familiar gestures of the everyday with striking visual acuity...

MARINE TARGET

Lukas Marxt
The surface of the Salton Sea reflects the glistening sunlight. Sediment colors the water green at times, at the edge of the image, almost bluish. The camera that captures this gentle flickering and flowing, floats far above a white rectangle...
