THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS
Michel CouturierThe shipping lane between Calais and the cliffs of Dover is the busiest in the world. This stretch of water is also the favoured route used by illegal immigrants in their attempt to reach the United Kingdom from Calais. The west-east axis of global trade is perpendicular to the south-north axis of migration triggered by war and poverty...
PUB ESQUIMO
Hänzel & GretzelPub Esquimo is a short pastiche that manipulates the fix image of a drawing of an eskimo girl who winks at us with colours and scratches.

On the one hand there is Vivant, the party of Roland Duchâtelet, with a central topic of the right to a basic income for all...
FRÄNZ ÜND KOFÖN [SERIAL]
Messieurs Delmotte“My work is not a performance – and actually even less of a good idea.” The videos by Messieurs – or Monsieur - Delmotte spare nothing or no one and they trivialize anything that comes within his reach, including himself. His works are not self-portraits, nor transpositions of the author in one or more imaginary characters...
QUID ESPERANZA [2005 VERSION]
Stéphane ManzoneEvery year, around Easter, the procession of Semanta Santa moves through the streets of Malaga. The parade of masked penitents, the glorification of the statue of Virgin Mary,… everything seems to be targeted towards making the crowd, as if in a trance, forget about their own mortality. In Fatima, Portugal, the Virgin showed herself to three shepherds according to legend...
