FILE
Kurt D'Haeseleer‘File’ scrutinises the bandwidth between representation and immersion, showing a world of complexity. This work is trying to be a lot at the same time: video clip, essay, action movie, sociological study, documentary, soap and even commercial but above all a hermetic collection of sensations. A dated relation goes off the road and two people lose each other in overdrive....
KOREAN STUDIES
Joëlle TuerlinckxFilmed data of a journey in South Korea as far as the border with Nort Korea; a set of space scenes heightened by special effects.Square white line, red rectangle-frame, blue curve, pink angle, black mobile-point... The effect precedes the action, follows a movement, takes a speed, a colour, from one or other of the elements making up the scene... The effect lends tone, the image is activated...

CAMERA OBSCURA
Michel LorandFor ‘Camera Obscura’, Lorand made a night-time recording from a moving automobile, along an empty and unlit road, projected the dark images against a wall and filmed them again with a hand held camera...
OPEN BOOK
Vito AcconciAcconci’s unnaturally wide-open mouth is filmed in extreme close-up, which puts the viewer uncomfortably close to the artist. Wrestling to keep his mouth open, his words are directed at the viewer. His incomprehensible voice forms an invitation: “I’m not closed, I’m open. Come in... I’ll accept you, I won’t shut down, I won’t shut you out.....
L'HOLOCAUST N'EST QU'UN DETAIL DANS L'HISTOIRE
Sven AugustijnenAugustijnen uses the same technique as in his video ‘Le Coran, ça je ne connais pas’. In flashing black and white letters and backgrounds, the words from the sentence ‘L’Holocaust n’est qu’un detail dans l’Histoire’ are flung upon the screen at various speeds. The viewer has to be careful not to be brainwashed by this revisionist message....
MÉDÉE
Michel LorandThe Medea installation is made up of a large, square table with four video monitors. A single actor or actress is seen on three of the four monitors, from the waist up and frontal. The fourth monitor shows only text. The starting point is a short prose piece written by Lorand about a young woman intending to kill her two children after the end of her relationship with their father...

Angel VergaraStraatman is Angel Vergara Santiago’s alter ego. Straatman sits in a tent – an art camp tent – or underneath a white canvas on the street, drawing and painting, talking to spectators or recording their comments and surrounding sounds. However, at the same time he seems to be totally introverted...
LOST POETS
André ColinetAndré Colinet presents a disturbing video, dedicated to a city under siege. Raising painful questions about the conflicts that divide people and nations, the film maker has made a demanding film that is open to several interpretations. Its clean mise en scène is simple and never seeks to please. It reminds the viewer that only rigour serves a poetic writing...
VAN ABBEMUSEUM
