In January 1999, at the height of the Lewinsky-Clinton affair, Herman Asselberghs and Dieter Lesage asked me if’d be in for a trip to Lost Nation.

PARKING 2004

Aurore Dal Mas
Aurore Dal Mas is fascinated with the vocabulary that is used in popular music, as a peculiar reflection by and on mankind. Before this she made ‘Show Room’, a pseudo-autobiographical video clip based on a song by Julio Iglesias.

TIGER SKIN

Messieurs Delmotte
What that thing moving in the grass? Is it a man? Is it a tiger? Is it a duvet cover with a print of a tiger? Than why and how is it moving? Messieurs Delmotte fools around with our perception in yet another of his idiosyncratic short performances. This work is part of the series The Mental Reason Vol. 1...

EFEMERIA

Jan Vromman
Efemeria is a transcription to video of a project with slides, a poem and soundscape from 1958. This assemblage of ’words/images/sounds’ is extremely nude in its juxtaposition. The transcription to video of 2011, became an act of purity and brutality, radical in all its simplicity. The slides are from photographer Julien Coulommier, the words are written and read by poet Chris Yperman...
