SUPERPOSITION

Filip Francis
This work is the result of a collaboration between Filip Francis, Luc Deleu and Wout Vercammen. It is an early experiment with image in image, split screen, zoom in, fading, overlaps and other techniques that made the medium video—just out of the cradle in the 1970s—so exciting. The three artists took the camera and set out with great enthusiasm...

THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 70. DR. ASSELBERGS

Steve Reinke
It was mistake for me to collaborate with a researcher. I wanted only the bare facts to speculate around. Instead I have too many details. Once again, I have been cheated by History. My role as an author has been usurped by our luck in tracking down the actual Dr. Asselbergs, who remembers things differently than I would have preferred. I thought potato flakes would be an ideal subject...

VIDÉOCARTOGRAPHIES: AÏDA, PALESTINE

Till Roeskens
In ’Vidéocartographies: Aïda, Palestine’ Roeskens asks several inhabitants of the Palestinian refugee camp Aïda to draw him a map. The camera records the inverse of these scribbles, showing the marks of the black pen through the white paper...

LA DEUXIÈME NUIT

Eric Pauwels
On the death of his mother, a filmmaker makes a film to see how much her disappearance has changed his vision of the world. It is an opportunity for him to look back over his relationship with her: a relationship that made him a free individual, as a man and as a filmmaker...

BETWEEN TWO WALLS

Ria Pacquée
The work of Ria Pacquée contains narrative aspects, firmly rooted in a social awareness, which do not seem to take shape until the final stage of the editing. ’Between Two Walls’ is a montage of clips showing the worship of people of different faiths in Jerusalem – in the streets, in the temples, at shrines...

OFF THE SET

Mira Sanders
’Off The Set’ contains an imaginary conversation between the roundabout and the dot. The film stills being shown are filmed on a path next to the Demer, between Betekom and Aarschot (BE). The video was made during the artist’s residency in FLACC (Genk, BE)...

OBJECTIEVE ARCHITECTUUR

Jef Cornelis
In 1971 the Swiss architect Werner Blaser curated the group exhibition 'Objective Architecture—Skin and Skeleton 'in the National Higher Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning in Antwerp. Jef Cornelis made a television report for the current art events programme 'Zoeklicht'. The documentary features only photographs of architecture on four continents...

BERLAYMONT DREAMING

Justin Bennett
The Berlaymont building, seat of the European Commission, is a symbolic centre for the European quarter of Brussels as well as for Europe itself. Formally interesting is the fact that the original modernist architecture has been renovated and forseen with a new ‘skin’ or rather an armour plating, changing the outward appearance while preserving the inner form...
