THE JOURNEY

Mira Sanders
’The Journey’ is a hand-held camera shot of a giant cardboard model, consisting of images that refer to travelling. While some parts of the model move while filming, the camera itself slowly recedes, finally resulting in a frontal view of the whole model...

THE BLACK LAMB

Els Dietvorst
'The Black Lamb' is an online film project started in 2011 by artist and filmmaker Els Dietvorst.  'The Black Lamb' final unfolds over a three-year period (2011-2014) with seasonal updates.

KINGELEZ: KINSHASA, UNE VILLE REPENSÉE

Dirk Dumon
KINGELEZ: Kinshasa, a city rethought… Kingelez (1948) is an unclassified Congolese artist. The setting of his artistic development is Kinshasa, a chaotic and obsolete metropolis. Kingelez gained international recognition with his large scale-models, which are all utopian cities in their own respect...

THE STREETTAPES

Els Dietvorst
These tapes are an impression of the 'live'-rehearsals for The return of the swallows in July 2002 at the Anneessens square in Brussels. These 'live'-rehearsals were an important turning point in the project. All the actors saw each other for the first time. They were assigned to stay in character whatever happened and to challenge each other by improvising...

AND ALIGN

Peter Downsbrough
A fixed long viewpoint of a busy intersection is ultimately interrupted by a 180° travelling. A woman is sauntering along the street lines, almost bored. The passing of time is prominent. An everyday environment is rendered as a modernist architectonical environment; order and disorder are shown in observation, and dissected...

ONE OF US

Koen Theys
In a misty white landscape an endless procession of people roams as in a procession. They are characters from the three largest processions of Flanders. They look like figures from old Bible movies. The men are wearing fake beards, dusty robes and fake long-haired wigs; the women have exaggerated make-up and wear long robes and burkas...

FUTUR ANTÉRIEUR (A.K.A. DISCIPLES OF THE HEINOUS PATH - PART 1: THE PAIN OF EVERYONE)

Herman Asselberghs
Clocking in just under twenty minutes, Herman Asselberghs’ Futur Antérieur is, for the most part, a decidedly ‘anti-retinal’ affair: it consists of fifteen minutes of utter, stifling blackness filled with quasi-intolerable noise and an occasional glimmer of distant, shimmering twilight...

THE JOYCEAN SOCIETY

Dora García
A group of people have been reading a book together for thirty years. They have been reading it again and again, with each journey from the first to the last page taking eleven years. Once they reach the last word, a very enigmatic "the," they begin again with the first word, "riverrun." The text appears inexhaustible, its interpretation endless, the inconclusive nature of the reading exciting...

GIRLS AND PHILOSOPHERS

Koen Theys
Video installation for two projectors. A diptych or triptych – depending on how you look at it. ’Girls and Philosophers’ sets out from two screens. Together they make out a diptych, with directly facing panels. In between, however, there is also the area which is marked off by the screens, where the spectators move about...

MARINE TARGET

Lukas Marxt
The surface of the Salton Sea reflects the glistening sunlight. Sediment colors the water green at times, at the edge of the image, almost bluish. The camera that captures this gentle flickering and flowing, floats far above a white rectangle...
