Bernard Gigounon
In this video piece from Bernard Gigounon, we take part in the birth of a loop, one that we might define as the life and death of the image of the American Hero. The actor, each and every time, is the killer of his own image, sometimes older, sometimes younger, often in different aesthetic contexts according to the respective filmic universe he inhabits...

STUDY WITH FLIES

Frank Theys
This video shows up to four digitally generated flies seen flying in a contained space against a discoloured white background. They move closer and further away from the screen, moving somewhat haltingly, and sometimes get just a little bit too close to the camera screen... This image study is a surreal and unorthodox piece of work...

THE TOY SUN

Ken Kobland
A rumination on Time, with a capital "T". Time and its ravages, which really just means its progression, its nature. Set off by an "old" poem, a T.S. Eliot poem that’s literally haunted me for 30? or 40? yrs...even before I became an old man myself. (It’s an old man’s rumblings, and it never fails to move me...

AUTOPORTRAIT CONTRE NATURE

Michel François
A character in a blue shirt is filmed with a fixed camera, in slow motion. We hear the echo of his footsteps. It’s the artist himself: this is an “auto portrait contra nature”. François lights up a cigarette while glass bottles start raining down around him: they shatter noisily, yet miraculously without ever hitting him...

AN (THAUMATROOP)

Didier Volckaert
"A boy and a girl are making love on the filmscreen. This is a Cinematographic illusion, in reality they are never seen together on the screen. On the celluloid boy and girl are never together in the same photogram. During the making of this film the boy filmed the girl and she filmed him. Virtual sex by means of an old Bolex camera...

IN-MID-AIR

Charlemagne Palestine
"The first electronically generated sounds that Charlemagne Palestine ever heard came from the machines he encountered in ordinary daily urban life. Machines like the refrigerator electric motor, or electrical generators; but it was especially the sounds of motion (race cars, motorcycles, war planes, rocket ships) that first excited his sonic imagination as a young teenager...

S.O.L.

Edith Dekyndt
A violet shirt is hanged/ draped over a swing in the playground. While the light and weather conditions are changing – wind is coming up – the swing and the shirt start moving, like they have a live of their own. As in much of her work, Dekyndt investigates in this piece a method of perception for physical phenomena on the verge of the invisible with a touching and surprising result....
