EEN VAGE BELOFTE VAN VERLANGEN
An van. Dienderen‘Een vage belofte van verlangen’ (‘A Vague Promise of Desire’) is an exercise in creating a claustrophobic atmosphere through a multitude of disturbing images: a girl in a tunnel at night, a woman in the water (is she drowning?) and girls in underwear, hanging about the room (or is it a catwalk?)...
THE VIDEO MESSAGE
Roy VillevoyeIn The Video Message Omama talks about what happened to him after he collaborated on the development of the life-size, realistic statue that Roy Villevoye made of him: Madonna. The core of the story is that by participating in the project he sold his soul. Not in the figurative sense as we mean it, but literally.

LES ONDES DE LOVE
Edith DekyndtA flag made of 20 meters of black cloth, standing on the desert plateau of an active volcano, waves generated as if the mast movement of the fabric, forming a wave. When conditions are most favorable, the movement becomes sinusoidal and visually approximates the seismic waves discovered by the British mathematician Augustus Edward Hough Love (1863-1940)....
STARFIGHTER
Wolf Vostell'Starfighter' contains images of war scenes, ranging from simply figurative to invisible or almost erased. The images were filmed directly from the television screen with a Super 8 camera: blurred footage on a harrowing sound that illustrates particularly well a point Marshall McLuhan made: the media subtly manipulate information. (Berta Sichel)...
