LA SORTIE DES USINES VW
Angel VergaraAt the Volkswagen factory, Vergara shot hours of material of workers leaving the building. He filmed most of the images indirectly: the artist had set up his camera in front of shop-windows and other windows, which causes a reflection or a multi-layered image. With its purpose and its title, the work echoes ’La sortie des usines Lumière (1895)...
THE BREATHING LESSON
Dora GarcíaAlthough Dora Garcia (°1965, Valladolid, Spain) produces work that is mostly performative and installation-based, video is used as a means to question the boundaries between representation and reality. The artist engages herself with the question of what is real and what is fiction, and thus visitors become protagonists in a fiction- sometimes knowingly, sometimes not...
MOSAÏC HEREDITY
Emilio López-MencheroIn Mosaïc Heredity, Emilio López-Menchero talks into the fix camera and tells about himself, his situation and origins as if he is standing in front of an unemployment office agent or a police interrogation. Between fiction and reality, the short video is characterized by the insertion of black frames and the use of the mosaic mode of the camera...

Mira SandersEarly 2018, Mira Sanders created Théorie des Objets—a series of inkjet prints and drawings that translate her observations of objects, based on the book Théorie des Objets (1972) by Abraham A. Moles...
YODEL PORTRAIT PHIL MINTON
Myriam Van ImschootThis portrait pays tribute to the British music legend Phil Minton and the many voices that live within his wide vocal range. Originally a trumpet player, Phil Minton developed a unique approach to his voice that sings back to the hum and din of the world. Sound is paint. The moving camera — as well as the light — encircle the singer as if meditating a riddle...
MINABLE MUSIC-HALL EN VIDÉO-ART
Jacques LizèneWith “one of the untalented sequences of Jacques Lizène” as a subtitle, the artist himself wallows in his typical nihilism from the very start—or should we say infantilism? With a soundtrack of grating and complaining in the background, one derisory scene is followed by the next with great indifference...
OWNER OF THE VOYAGE
Jan Dietvorst - Roy VillevoyeSince 1992, Roy Villevoye has frequently visited Papua, the former Dutch New Guinea. Visual artist Jan Dietvorst has joined him regularly; together they produce an oeuvre of films that deal with the influences to which the local people, the Asmat, have been exposed since their first contact with Western outsiders in the 1950s...
PAUSE DE NUIT
Jean-Claude RigaBetween sunset and sunrise, while the majority sleep and enjoy their “night pause”, the men on the night shift work to a ponderous rhythm. Images, saved from oblivion, of a place where the age-old relationship between man and the elements still survives today....
THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 21. SQUEEZING SORROW FOR AN ASHTRAY
Steve Reinke"We know the air is filled with vibrations that we can’t hear. In ’Variations VII’, I tried to use sounds from that inaudible environment. But we can’t consider environment as an object. We know that it’s a process. While in the case of the ashtray, we are indeed dealing with an object...
