HIER WOONT MIJN HUIS

Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven
Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven pays tribute to her parents’ house that has recently been obtained by an Antwerp theatre. This film is about Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven’s incapacity to undergo changes over which she has no control. In making this video, she exorcised nostalgia and grief by sharing it...

PERFORMANCE METRO MEIR

Ria Pacquée
As the title indicates, this video is a recording of a performance that Pacquée did together with Danny Devos in 1979. Standing on the lowest metro platform, Pacquée is on a small wooden square. With white duck tape she has made a bigger square around it, of which she keeps on enlarging the edges with new pieces of tape...

REAL TO REAL PHOTOGRAPHY

IMPERIAL VALLEY (CULTIVATED RUN-OFF)

Lukas Marxt
Accompanied by baleful, alarming, whistlingbooming electro sounds (Jung An Tagen), a speedy drone flight over California´s Imperial Valley becomes a journey in an extinct, abstract, uncanny, hostile landscape: a dystopian science fiction scenario, anchored in the reality of the present.

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...

SPIRITUAL ANIMAL KINGDOM

Steve Reinke
‘Spiritual Animal Kingdom’ is Steve Reinke’s alternative to a television show. It has comedy skits, musical interludes, and little animated aphorisms that act as commercials or bumpers. Reinke parodies, analyses and plays out the narratives and imagery employed in mass culture – while never appearing to take any of it seriously...

FUJI SAN

Bernard Gigounon
The animation in this video was put together with images of Mount Fuji found on the internet. Mount Fuji is the largest symmetrical object on the planet; images taken from any side can be perfectly superposed. This video rules negates the contemplative aspect in these pictures, as the Fuji monument becomes mobile and pivots. ...
