SPIDER
Claude CattelainIn his work Claude Cattelain tries to catch the essence of the volatile. His video miniatures are flashes of amazement and fragility, staged at times, or noticed in passing. Impulsive, not without a sense of humour, Cattelain records an actual spatial escapism or emotional turning points...
LINGUA IGNOTA
Edith DekyndtHildegard von Bingen lived during the 12th Century. She was a Benedictine and a precursor, a poet and a doctor, who invented a language that she alone could write and speak, the lingua ignota. This language who has survived thanks to the description given by the Holy Roman Catholic Church in an eponymous book is the title of a video of Edith Dekyndt which features a hand mirror...
ANTWERPEN-BERCHEM
Jan KempenaersIn 225 stills, Jan Kempenaers shows all of the peculiarities of Berchem, a part of the city of Antwerp, Belgium. His photographs of marginal places/“non-places” where the urban and rural life, city and suburbia merge, seem at first strictly formal and without any critical or aesthetic concern...

LEARNING PIECE: BE PATIENT, MY SOUL
Mekhitar GarabedianThis ‘learning piece’, like American artist Vito Acconci’s 1970 Learning Piece, concerns a performance in which a song is learned measure by measure, bit by bit. But, as Garabedian states in an interview, his is an appropriation of Acconci’s performance. During his own performance, Acconci sits at a table, playing a tape of Leadbelly’s Black Betty...
BAYINDO
Paul Shemisi BetutuaIn a story about traditional medicine, spirituality, and decolonization, Bayindo takes us to Kinshasa in the DR Congo. The film dives into the heart of the animist community "Kintuadi Tuka Kongo", a group that attempts to restore the customs and the ancestral faiths destroyed by the arrival of the missionaries and colonizers....
INKTPOT
Luc Deleu - Filip Francis - De nieuwe ColoristenIn the dunes of the Belgian seaside town of Koksijde a bunker from World War II is with great deal of sense for detail transformed into a giant inkpot. This early video work is a collaboration between the utopian architect Luc Deleu, painter Filip Francis and the group ‘de nieuwe coloristen’ (translated as ‘the new colorists’)...
RUE DE L'AVENIR
Philippe Van DammeVan Damme’s main preoccupation seems to be time, or better: the visualisation of time. For ’Rue de l’Avenir’ he uses 45 photos of a straight track or (re)construction: the track for a new subway line in Molenbeek (Brussels). The editing moves up and down among this mutilated city-space: a witty study on time and the changing environment...
