HOMMAGE À … V
Lili DujourieThe five videos of Hommage à … deal with the same theme as repetition-in-difference, as a continual tracing and retracing, of the figure fold and unfold in the visual field. In Hommage à … V, there is a high set horizon, the idea that the woman is closer to us and farther to the right makes it easier for the viewer to step into the image...

VIDÉO RELATIONNELLE (1973 - 1974): TV RÉALISME
Jacques LennepA television screen shows a pan of a park. Shortly it becomes clear that what we see actually is two performers carrying an 'empty' television set in the park and that the image is nature itself. An early experiment with the medium of television in the spirit of Nam June Paik or Wolf Vostell....
GIRL WITH A FLY
Sarah VanagtGirl with a fly is an entirely silent video loop, which source of inspiration is a sound recording of a fly in a church, a sound file that Sarah Vanagt found on the Internet. In Girl with a fly, a young girl enters a church and opens a matchbox: a fly flies up from the little box into the image-loaded space. The girl then starts to record the sound of the fly...

The camera functions as a silent voyeur; it keeps its distance, carefully framing empty spaces, lifeless ornaments and human presence. Here man is but an element within its physical surroundings, a sign of life, a bundle of emotions...
(VOLCANO) ABOUT THE ANTI-CAPITALIST CARNIVAL
Charley CaseThe crowd is on the move, dancing in the mud at a devilish pace, demonstrating ('make love not money'), writing their demands on their bodies ('we only want peace') or on walls (the body of the city) ... euphoria is mixed with struggle: the first frames go from a festive anti-globalization meeting to the destruction of a McDonald's...
THE MANY THINGS SHOW
Koen TheysThis video is based on two sources: a late 60s theoretical text, written by conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth — and a seemingly endless stream of found internet images, invariably picturing one or more persons in the proximity of some loved object: holding it; standing close to it; locking at it...
HÉLÈNE
Claude CattelainIn his work Claude Cattelain tries to grasp the essence in the volatile. His short and personal flashes of astonishment and fragility offer a striking image of a passage from one place to another, or a shift in frames of mind...
