HOMMAGE À … III

Lili Dujourie
The five videos of Hommage à … deal with the same theme as repetition-in-difference, as a continual tracing and retracing, of the figure fold and unfold in the visual field. In Hommage à … III, Dujourie develops a recurrent strategy of her work: drawing attention to the space beyond the visual field...

PISSENLIT

Michel François
A dandelion (pissenlit in French) which will not blow away, in spite of the efforts of the breathless cameraman......

N12°13.062'/ W 001°32.619' EXTENDED

Vincent Meessen
The title of this video refers, through GPS coordinates, to a location in Africa, which is both specific and abstract. Two men wander through a deserted site in the middle of the desert. At first sight it’s an archaeological ruin. As the images reveal more of the environment, it becomes clear that the construction was built by the two of them, hewn from the surrounding stone...

ANARCHIST PILGRIMS

Charley Case
A 55 seconds split screen clip where Charley Case combines a scene of a pilgrim with images of an anarchist truck going to a protest.  ...

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...

COUPLE REGARDS POSITIONS

Boris Lehman
“A two-way mirror. Water and fire. Water extinguishes fire, and fire boils away water. There are many difficulties preventing them from understanding one another. They can only marry when one of the two disappears, and yet they are inexorably drawn to one another, they need one another in order to exist...

SELF-PORTRAIT

Frank Theys
A man keeps walking up and down from his computer to his window. He does not have a head. Blood is rhythmically gushing from the gaping wound, a hilarious and metaphoric self-portrait of the author. This video was shown on five screens spread out over the city of Courtrai (Belgium) for the Beeldenstorm exhibition and was used by Walter Verdin for his ’Title Safe’ project....

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...

POP ART: CASINO KNOKKE

Jef Cornelis
A short report on the event surrounding Pop Art which Emile Langui organised in 1970 in the Casino of Knokke. Rather than an exhibition, the event was conceived as a situation, a biotope in which visitors and works are admitted like plants and fish in deep-sea water...

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...
