FILE

Kurt D'Haeseleer
‘File’ scrutinises the bandwidth between representation and immersion, showing a world of complexity. This work is trying to be a lot at the same time: video clip, essay, action movie, sociological study, documentary, soap and even commercial but above all a hermetic collection of sensations. A dated relation goes off the road and two people lose each other in overdrive....

BUENOS AIRES

Jef Cornelis
Buenos Aires, Baires or B.A., where the corridors of the National Bank were once piled high with heaps of gold, is trying to awaken from a number of simultaneous nightmares (the colonels’ regime, inflation, terror). The visual artist César Paternosto (La Plata, 1931) left Baires in 1964, because he felt he was banging his head, like a balloon, on the ceiling...
