PIANISTE
Michel FrançoisFilmed from above, a beggar with a Casio toy on his lap. A few cents in the dish. Street noise. Pretend playing. The Casio’s sample tunes : Mozart’s Turkish March for instance.

9+1 POLAROID BLACK & WHITE PICTURES
Danny MatthysThe 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...

We see her nude reflection in the mirror, standing off-camera, before she enters the camera's active zone. From our observation point, we see her walk forward, breaking the threshold of the camera's field of vision but still reflected in the mirror...
BED
Johan Grimonprez‘Bed’ is an interactive installation, consisting of a continuous projection of an empty bedroom projected on the wall of a house or a building.

AFTER THE FLOOD
Els Dietvorst"Every being seems to be entitled to different other lives." (A. Rimbaud) This film shows fragments of every emotion the actors want to play. Every actor plays an emotion. Leading element is the life of writer Arthur Rimbaud....
