CROSSING ASIDE

Mira Sanders - Cédric Noël
The film crossing aside is conceived as a phenomenological portrait of the Annie Vande Wiele pedestrian and bicycle bridge. It approaches the bridge not only as something people live with and use, but as something that itself lives and makes a space...

THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 19. INTRODUCTION TO THE LOGO

Steve Reinke
I am a person, a company, and an artist. (Otherwise I’d pay a lot more taxes.) As an artist, texts are produced under the authority of my name. It seemed appropriate to develop a logo....

DEATH FUCKING METAL

Koen Theys
This video is the third and final part of a trilogy, in which Fanfare, Calme & Volupté (2007) was the first part and PATRIA (2008) the second. In all three video works a group of people in uniform are lying around in a state of depression in a spectacular setting...

LE BRUIT DE L'IMAGE

Michel Bonnemaison
"Look! There’s noise on the image. Something is flapping its wings in your TV set. It’s the flight of an angel passing through it. The rustle of Gabriel’s wings." The archangel Gabriel, a message expert, since he dictated the Koran to Mahomet, explains the invention of television through the operation of the Holy Ghost. The actor Enrique Ariman is all ears...

TANIA, MODÈLE POUR PHOTOS DE CHARME

Jacques Lennep
Video, apart from photography and holography, was but one of the media Lennep made use of during the 1970s, as he was adding on to his ‘museum of men’. His human models were derived from all layers of the populations, but they shared a common obsession for collecting things or, at the very least, an unusual passion...

THE SCRAP IRON AGE

Roy Villevoye - Jan Dietvorst
For the Questioning History exhibition, Roy Villevoye and Jan Dietvorst produced a new film that, in a certain sense, is a sequel to Winter Prayers, a film from 2006 about memories of the First World War...

EL CAMINO DEL TIEMPO

Peter Brosens
For the indigenous people in the Ecuadorean Andes, drinking has a very special meaning. It helps overcoming conflicts among people, and it enables the communication with the world of the spirits. In particular for the old people, drinking is like a river flowing slowly into the world of the dead...

TOPIC I

Pascal Baes
The French film theorist André Bazin used to consider film as a spell of time. He spoke triumphantly of a victory on the irreversibility and the transitoriness of life. Baes’s ’Topic I & II’ (the painterly quality of its dusky images is for a good reason reminiscent of Francis Bacon’s strokes) seems to question these transcendent views on cinematography...

She is shown sculpturing a crucified Christ, whose nudity caused widespread outrage. With a brush, Angel Vergara delineates her cinematic image, and that of the sculpture...
