CE TANT BIZARRE MONSIEUR ROPS

Thierry Zéno
Through various letters by painter and engraver Félicien Rops and fragments from the book Camille Lemonnier devoted to him, we penetrate the artist’s work: an often gruesome, at times amused account of 19th century morals; the subject matter is permeated by eroticism and haunted by death...

BRUXELLES-ANTWERPEN

Angel Vergara
From the Linkebeek station to Antwerp in slightly more than twenty seconds. Out of the train window, Vergara filmed the landscape as it passed him. Afterwards, he accelerated the movie’s tempo to such extent that the journey is rendered barely recognisable. What is left is a smear, an impression of a journey...

RISING FALL

Lukas Marxt
Rising Fall is a three-part study on nature as its spectacle, on what Spinoza termed natura naturans, or “nature naturing.” Something happens without the need of a guiding agent. Filmic images are content to quietly watch and listen and wait. And they expect the same of how they are observed. In other words an immanence of nature confiding a secret...

FLOATING LIGHT

Frank Van Herck
For a large part of the twentieth century, and of the previous one, the goal of art has been suppress the points of escape, to wipe out straight lines starting from the eye of the spectator to disappear somewhere in the horizon, or what the horizon of the spectator should be: the heroic, with which he should identify, the horizon in perspective from which he should give his orders...

DECORATION

Florian Gwinner
In Decoration the camera spins around its own axis. Different arrangements merge. Plants, materials, electrical devices. A mini evolution of the constructedness of the world....

BRUXELLES, UNE VILLE EN ÉTÉ

Marie André
The scene is Brussels, a summer afternoon, and the city seems suspended, silent, waiting. A young girl reads a letter from a friend who is away from the city on vacation. André then opens the narrative — fiction? document? — into a journal of the city in summer, which she presents as an urban landscape of open, empty spaces, from pastoral parks to corporate plazas...

NOW WITH IN THREE PARTS

Peter Downsbrough
Now With returns to the motif of the dice. The multiple arrangements of a pair of dice, each equally valid, if not equally valuable, are clearly part of Downsbrough’s attraction to serial systems of arrangement...

CAP.MAX, CF. E.NEUFERT - STATION 2 STATION

Emilio López-Menchero
In a series of projects called CAP.MAX, Emilio López-Menchero started from the fundamental rules that Ernst Neufert (1900 – 1986) - a German architect who is known as an assistant of Walter Gropius, as a teacher and member of various standardization organizations – elaborated in his essential handbook Architects' data (first published in German in 1936)...
