Doing a video each day. Day 14: on a blue sky a red flag is blew by the wind....

TOPIC II

Pascal Baes
The French film theorist André Bazin used to consider film as a spell of time. He spoke triumphantly of a victory on the irreversibility and the transitoriness of life. Baes’ ‘Topic I & II’ (the painterly quality of its dusky images is for a good reason reminiscent of Francis Bacon’s strokes) seem to question these transcendent views on cinematography...

CE TANT BIZARRE MONSIEUR ROPS

Thierry Zéno
Through various letters by painter and engraver Félicien Rops and fragments from the book Camille Lemonnier devoted to him, we penetrate the artist’s work: an often gruesome, at times amused account of 19th century morals; the subject matter is permeated by eroticism and haunted by death...

CANTAERT HUNTER 8906020

Ria Pacquée
In 'Cantaert Hunter 8906020’, a figure is depicted running through a cornfield. This figure is split into three, as the work cuts between three films of the woman running while wearing different clothes and hairstyles. In the streams, the corn leaves brush harshly across her face, simultaneously caressing and hitting her...

9 PETITS MOMENTS

Ria Pacquée
In the work of Ria Pacquée the relative and the existential always go hand in hand. In ’Neuf Petits Moments’, Pacquée layers brief shots and images, small moments, to construct a visual poem. Exploring space and colour, lines and forms, light and shade, she assembles a catalogue of images both absurd and symbolic...
