MOVING STORIES

Nicolas Provost
Nicolas Provost plays once more with the grammar and the codes of (Hollywood) cinema. With a limited number of images, an absorbing soundtrack and a minimal story line, the artist tries to stimulate the viewers’ imagination to the maximum. Moving Stories strings together some four fragments of flying passenger airplanes. Gleaming in the sunlight, they glide high above the clouds...

LE TERRITOIRE

Angel Vergara
Images of lions in the wild are combined with media images of Dutch- and French-speaking politicians, journalists and media personalities. On the soundtrack lions roaring can be heard sporadically while the artist traces the movie images with gestures as though painting...

A giant new subterranean pipeline traversing the Caucasus will soon pump Caspian Crude to the West. The line connecting the resource fringe with the terminus of the global high-tech oil circulation system runs through the video like a central thread...

EPILOGUE

Michel Lorand
’Epilogue’ begins with the technical introduction, the classic ‘countdown’ seen at the start of movies. The title then appears, followed by a white film, devoid of image. It is a blank film, but not clean. A woman’s voice reads out a claustrophobic text about memory and remembering...

DONKEY SHOT

Stefan Bohnenberger
‘Donkey Shot’ was filmed with Super 8 on the way from Brussels to Marrakech. Freely inspired on Cervantes’ Don Quixote the story follows the adventures and mishaps of the infamous knight in a granular, playful and almost surreal style, through the eyes of his faithful donkey...
