A TEAR FOR A GLASS OF WATER

Orla Barry
In ‘A Tear for a Glass of Water’ the actress Tara Casey performs a fragmented monologue written by Orla Barry, to a static camera. A life belt is stranded redundant on the wall. Is it a rehearsal, a lecture? The performance is cold at times severe. Interest in religion has revived proclaims the performer authoritatively. So has toast and marmalade...

SUPERPOSITION

Filip Francis
This work is the result of a collaboration between Filip Francis, Luc Deleu and Wout Vercammen. It is an early experiment with image in image, split screen, zoom in, fading, overlaps and other techniques that made the medium video—just out of the cradle in the 1970s—so exciting. The three artists took the camera and set out with great enthusiasm...

EXCERPT OF A DAY

Mira Sanders
‘Excerpt of a Day’ is an episode of sound from a day, from an everyday life. For Sanders, the perception of the ordinary, while walking, observing, exploring the space, is always a form of enquiry. In ‘Excerpt of a Day’, the real is returned to the possible...

THE PRINCESS PROJECT

Vincent Dunoyer
After his first solo work (Vanity, 1999), The Princess Project was originally intended to be a duet man-woman as a tribute to the classical pas de deux, for which Vincent Dunoyer reworked the traditional figures: pirouettes, portés,... .

WHITE BALL

Claude Cattelain
Impulsive video sequences, not without a sense of humour, at times evoking an actual spatial escapism or on other occasions recording coincidental or purposeful emotional turning points. ‘White Ball’ shows a passage of one state of mind to another through direct amazement. No time to think or to lament. In his work Claude Cattelain tries to grasp the essence in the volatile...

THE TROPHY

Ruben Bellinkx
In the film "The Trophy" we see a deer’s head, which is alive instead of stuffed, hanging on the wall. The deer stares ahead motionless, making it difficult to distinguish whether it is alive or stuffed. Suddenly we can see the other side of the wall. There the same deer stands alone in a bare room with its head disappearing into the wall...

VERLIEFDE HARTEN OF DE LISTEN ENER JONKER

Jef Cornelis
In the mid-1970s artist and author Pjeeroo Robjee wrote a popular farce that played in the region where he lived. The play was performed in a popular theatre near Ghent by the locals. Cornelis filmed the entire performance, both onstage, offstage and backstage. During the preparations, we see the actors-locals being made up. While the public enters, the tension rises...
