QUARTET
Wim CatrysseIn Wim Catrysse’s Quartet (2002), a single-channel installation, we see four men bending over. The camera films them from a bird’s-eye view. The men are inside a dark space and seem to find it hard to keep their balance on the moving floor. Though the characters constantly move slightly, they seem frozen, waiting in relation to each other...

Jacques LennepA steady shot of a pair of immovable shoes and feet. The soundtrack however consist of heavy footsteps....
HEY! HET IS... HUM... DINGES... HUM... TARZAN!

KINT, DE L'AUTRE CÔTÉ
Olga BaillifIn 1956, several weeks after the Russian attack, Baillif’s mother escaped from Hungary. Because she never discussed her life before this departure from Budapest, nor her relatives, Olga Baillif decided to go on a search in this documentary, for the story of her mother, the family which stayed behind and memories in the historical context...

Ana Torfs - Jurgen PersijnFor this video work, made in 1989, during their studies at Sint-Lukas University College of Art and Design in Brussels, Jurgen Persijn and Ana Torfs worked together for the first time.

LIGHT DISPLACEMENT
Meggy RustamovaThe starting point for this film were Meggy Rustamova’s many attempts to photograph a tree in Hiroshima, Japan. Aspects of war, escapism and fear are expressed in this audiovisual trip. The atomic bomb in Japan and the current nuclear threat between the US and North Korea is translated into the white, overexposed photographs, which fade into complete 'white-out' in the film...
IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO
Trine Lise NedreaasContrary to the title, Bill is dancing the tango on his own, leaving room in his arms for an imaginary partner. He seems comfortable alone, yet his open arms are an invitation to join him. The film can be seen as a metaphor for a lifetime. The journey we take through life we ultimately take on our own...
DIVINATIONS
Sarah VanagtChildren from Brussels, Athens and Sarajevo roll out strips of transparent tape onto the streets where they were raised. When they peel back the tape it is left with an imprint of the city: dust, sand, sweet wrappers, insects, glass, fluff ... An ultra-realistic diary that is brought to life by an old magic lantern. Do all these shapes and images tell us something about the future?...
