AUTON
Alexis DestoopAnother little video-object originating from the same medical archive as "Quod", it is - quite literally - a looking into an eye's blind spot. Again, the source material actually represents area of the optical nerve in the iris...

CAPITAL BRASILIA
Robert SuermondtFilming a city always has a documentary value. But that is not what prevails in Suermondt’s work. What is striking about Brasilia is its ability to portray urban spaces as fictional ones. Streets and stations become sets on which accidental passers-by serve as actors performing a scene in a fiction film...
LA SCALA
Aglaia KonradModernist architecture is the subject of Aglaia Konrad’s 16mm films but rather than – and beyond – a form of architecture on film, or film on architecture, what her films propose is an investigation into the potential for film to embody the experience of architecture as sculpture...

140 BALLETJES
Luc CoeckelberghsHundred-and-forty white balls are floating in a hall. Attached to the ceiling with strings of different lengths, from low to high, they are hanging motionless in space. The camera records their presence from across the room, but also from above and from the side. Passing by slowly, the camera is suggesting movement. The balls interact with the patterns on the floor and the walls...
