BUREAUX VILVOORDE

Angel Vergara
Vergara films an office building in Vilvoorde, with traffic on a four-lane motorway in the foreground. He films from the roadside, and the camera angle is hardly ever changed during the recording. As with ’Tino cordonnier’ and ’Sofia caissière’, this work consists of a single shot and concerns a simple recording of a working environment...

RESONATING SURFACES

Manon de Boer
First, there’s only darkness and music combined with vague, indefinable sounds, like footsteps or stumbling. Then, slowly, the image whitens, giving way bit by bit to some 16 mm film spots and scratches. Now and then, images appear for a split second. The music swells, distorted, cut through with noise...

BRING US TO OURSELVES, MIKHAÏL

Emmanuel Van der Auwera
In an airport somewhere, a puppet of Mikhaïl Gorbatchev gives a monologue in the dark, gripped by the threat of the catastrophe erupting outside. Powerless and unable to react, he awaits the creeping collapse of his world. Bring us to ourselves, Mikhaïl is a video-essay, somewhere in between a fiction-documentary and a filmed puppet-show...
