LOOKING UP

Bernard Gigounon
‘Looking up’ is, as Gigounon puts it himself, a trip through time and space between the astounding and reality. The short video starts with a sky at night, accompanied by the mesmerising sound of an army of crickets. We look up, as the image evolves very slowly it becomes clear to us that the thing we thought to have seen is not actually what it was, or is...

HANS MARTENS

Angel Vergara
According to Hans Martens, art should be synonymous with freedom, but this does not necessarily mean that freedom is art. He holds on to the – in his opinion – romantic opinion that the artist is one of the last figures in our society able to act in total liberty....

CHANTAL IN GREEN

Rebecca Jane Arthur
Chantal in Green is part of a series of colour-aura Super 8 film portraits guided by the adage ‘love is a verb’ in which the artist films her nearest and dearest, observing, framing, filming, and constructing keepsakes as an act of love...

4. DOWN / 6. ACROSS

Ken Kobland
Blocks and squares, a fragmented view from the side into cosy lit up apartments in the big city. Sofas, staircases, lampposts, tables with flowers. Dreamy piano music underlines this literally puzzled view on contemporary living. Suddenly the music and mood switches: we are in a jazzy and dynamic dreamscape somewhat reminiscent of Mondriaan’s masterful ‘Victory Boogie-Woogie...

OUTPLACEMENT 02 (TRAVEL)

Cel Crabeels
In ‘Détachement’ and ‘Outplacement’ Crabeels researches the possibilities and limitations of mapping something by means of video. In ‘Preview’ he looks at the way video can be used to show the spectator different ‘worlds’: past/ present, trauma/ reality...

APRÈS LA PLUIE

Alberta Sessa
’Après la Pluie’ combines the visual and auditive notes she made during a trip through Shanghai and Peking. It is an account of waking up in another world, in between dreams and sensations, the physical and visual shock. The Super 8 images catch the penetrating colours and stimuli and an awakening love for a civilisation full of possibilities and contradictions...

MÉDÉE

Michel Lorand
The Medea installation is made up of a large, square table with four video monitors. A single actor or actress is seen on three of the four monitors, from the waist up and frontal. The fourth monitor shows only text. The starting point is a short prose piece written by Lorand about a young woman intending to kill her two children after the end of her relationship with their father...

PULSATION

Pieter Geenen
Imprinted on the mountains of Northern Cyprus, the landmark of a Turkish Cypriot flag identifies the landscape and claims the land. As it is ever present and visible from almost every part of the island, this flag is acting as a continuous provocation to the Greek Cypriots on the other side of the UN buffer zone since the military division of Cyprus...
