UNDEAD VOICES
Maria Iorio - Raphaël CuomoUndead Voices focuses on the archive as a subject rather than a repository of material, and invites us to reflect critically on the absences it encompasses, on the politics of knowledge, on possible alternative ways of writing history. The starting point is a Super 8mm amateur film, Donne emergete!, made in 1975 by filmmaker Isabella Bruno...

COLOR WALKS
Ria PacquéeIn recent years, Ria Pacquée has focused in her work on colour in a postcolonial world. She makes us ask: “What is color?” Ria Pacquée does not talk color but lives it, in her travels, her imagination, and in her art. She takes us on color walks, like William Burroughs while staying in the Beat Hotel in Paris in the early 1960s...
KAMERA-KUSSEN
Bert BeyensA man and a woman are kissing each other by means of a camera. We see two naked actors, a man and a woman, in a closed white space, each holding an identical small camera. They start filming, the lenses held close together. They part, let the cameras slide over each other’s body. After a period of intense observation on both sides the lenses approach again and a black image is formed...
POUR OLIVIER
Claude CattelainA continuation of short sequence videos that have the ‘fall’ and its consequences as a main theme. These experiences, sometimes amusing, sometimes tragic, are most often achieved from unsteady wood-made armatures. Some of those are organized around the human body, making up different types of heavy and fragile exoskeletons. The falls are either accidental or voluntary....

THE WHOLE SKIN TYPES CATALOG (A TEPID SUMMER)
Edith DekyndtIn order to construct this work Dekyndt made a filmed review of different skins – used as a colour palette. The backs of different persons were filmed, focusing each time on the spot between the shoulder blades. The interweaving and the succession of skins, from very light to very dark, account for the diversity and unique texture of each skin...
THE NIGHT BEFORE
Charley CaseThis video is inspired by haptonomy, an affective, physical form of prenatal communication with the foetus. When a hand is placed on an expectant mother’s belly, her unborn baby responds by moving close to it and, if the hand moves, by following its position. In the video this interaction is simulated by the projection of a film on a pregnant belly...
