TENTATIVE À CONTRAINDRE LE CORPS À S'INSCRIRE DANS LE CADRE DE L'IMAGE

Jacques Lizène
Since 1965, the self-declared “Little master from Liege from the second half of the 20th and the first half of the 21st Century, artist of mediocrity” produces and reproduces his work, continuously underlining self-irony, failure, and the absurd. Here the challenge consists of: an ‘attempt to oblige the body to fit into the image’...

SHOW

Luc Deleu
’Show’ is an experimental documentary about an exhibition of young painters and an audio-visual show for the school ’Koninklijk Atheneum’. The video begins with recording, at double speed, of a meeting between Deleu and the other artists at the TOP Office. The artists drive round the school, still shooting images. On the playground an installation is being erected...

QUIBERON, BRETAGNE, FRANCE, ON A DOLMEN

Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven
When visiting a Dolmen in Brittany, France, Van Kerckhoven asked Danny Devos to lay down naked on his stomach with his legs open, a piece of wood tied between his ankles, his hands tied behind his back. A secret performance to pay an hommage to the time they met and when Devos did the performance 'I Wanna be Injured' at the end of Van Kerckhoven's exhibition '=Basic' in Art Something, Amsterdam...

LES VARIATIONS KANCHELI

Geoffroy De Volder
The epical work Les variations Kancheli is the last part of a triptych Geoffroy de Volder has been working on since 2001. The film is entirely built from film and television fragments of various origins and it is divided into two parts of four chapters each, supported by music...

MOUNE Ô

Maxime Jean-Baptiste
"I close my eyes. The crowd makes me smile, breaks my body, and that's the end". By presenting the festive events which escorted the projection of the film Jean Galmot aventurier by Alain Maline, where the father's filmmaker played a role, the images of Moune Ô reveal the survival of the colonial inheritance within a Western collective unconscious always marked of stereotypes...

BIRTH OF TINTIN

Charley Case
An ink drawing evolves to become a woman giving birth to a man. An allusion to human creativity and contemporary iconography....

SILVER BALLS

Messieurs Delmotte
Two silver coloured Christmas balls are lying in an abstract, silver coloured setting. From the air, Messieurs Delmotte’s feet slowly descend into the camera frame. Hopefully he will not hurt himself crushing the balls! This early video is part of the ‘Century of the 20th Sex’ series....

AFTER THE BATTLE

Jan Dietvorst - Roy Villevoye
Three films about the culture of remembrance of World War 1 (Winter Prayers 2006, The Scrap-Iron Age, 2008, War is Over 2011) have been re-edited in AFTER THE BATTLE. The search for remnants on the former battlefields of France and Belgium has its origin in a combination of materialist, ideological and supernatural motives...

140 BALLETJES

Luc Coeckelberghs
Hundred-and-forty white balls are floating in a hall. Attached to the ceiling with strings of different lengths, from low to high, they are hanging motionless in space. The camera records their presence from across the room, but also from above and from the side. Passing by slowly, the camera is suggesting movement. The balls interact with the patterns on the floor and the walls...
