PEAU PIERRE

Antonin De Bemels
To make this video, Antonin De Bemels used images taken during a photography session at an old palace. There were two naked bodies and walls and dust. The photographer was speaking all the time, telling the dancers what to do. The filmmaker was hidden in a small alcove, silently watching and filming. An intimate relationship came about between those bodies and his...

THE SIMPLE FACT OF NOT BEING A WOMAN (2)

Messieurs Delmotte
After having dressed up as some disco diva in ‘The Simple Fact of Not Being a Woman (1)’, Messieurs Delmotte poses in this early piece again frontally naked for the camera. This time, he is wearing a fake pair of rather explosive breasts…...

QUARTET

Wim Catrysse
In Wim Catrysse’s Quartet (2002), a single-channel installation, we see four men bending over. The camera films them from a bird’s-eye view. The men are inside a dark space and seem to find it hard to keep their balance on the moving floor. Though the characters constantly move slightly, they seem frozen, waiting in relation to each other...

Jayce Salloum

9+1 POLAROID BLACK & WHITE PICTURES

Danny Matthys
The spatial interaction, arrived at through the closed video circuit of video camera 1 & 2 in relation to video monitor 1 & 2, is stressed by the destruction of this perception, through the use of polaroids (9 polaroids equals the surface of 1 monitor), in order to arrive at a new perception (= time), registered on tape (= registration), by video camera 3 and microphone (= synchronous regi...

THE MEASURE OF DISORDER

Teresa Cos
The Measure of Disorder follows the trail of the Austrian scientist Ludwig Boltzmann, who is know for his ground-breaking findings about the phenomenon of entropy, but also for his tragic suicide in the village of Duino, not far from the Adriatic town of Trieste...

LA MAZDA JAUNE ET SA SAINTETÉ

Sandra Heremans
A conceptual experiment on what it means to start a film with a black image, develops into a subtle personal essay about the filmmaker. This short film tells the story of a Belgian missionary who fell in love with a Rwandan woman, metamorphosing little by little into a personal reflection by their daughter...

SUDDEN DEATH

Wim Catrysse
The video installations by Wim Catrysse appeal physically and directly to the spectator’s world of experience. Through simple technical means he realises highly suggestive images, which play with the existential context of the individual. His attention is principally aimed at corporeal expression, at the language of the body...
