PANAMARENKO, ANTWERPEN 1940

Jef Cornelis
In a gallery in Bergeyk (the Netherlands) young Panamarenko elucidates on Donnerwolke (1971) and other models of flying objects.

TACATAC

Bernard Mulliez

UNE TACHE DE SILENCE

Lili Dujourie
The first frame shows a corridor and a black light switch. A woman walks into the frame from the left, into the corridor, and then returns ... The stain on the wall, meaningless figure at first hand, gains meaning little by little. The space is constructed with a pronounced depth, with a foreground and a background, and with doors that lead to spaces beyond the frame...

BERG LINKS

Jan De Cock
This project consists of two simultaneously shot videotapes, of which ’Berg Links’ is one, realized at the bottom of the Waterloo Hill in February 1999. De Cock’s video shows a buzz of activity around the hill, with a lot of running about and lugging of wooden planks and scaffolds.

THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 32. I LOVE YOU, TOO

Steve Reinke

Jan Bucquoy

But the residents of this caravan park prefer to look at soccer, a boxing-match or a beauty-contest. They are not interested in an interview with the famous writer Pierre Mertens...
