HÉROS

Bernard Gigounon
Little experiences of everyday, an acceleration of the yield of a copy machine, a tribute to Jean Renoir, a videogame, 24 image-seconds piled on top of each other and the results of an encounter of the children of the Marollen with the medium video....

TABOURETS

Claude Cattelain
In the video ‘Tabourets’, recorded in stop-motion, Cattelain undertakes several attempts to build a globelike shape with straight, edgy stools.

IDEAS OF ORDER IN CINQUE TERRE

Ken Kobland
“In November of 2004 I was invited to spend a couple of weeks in Cinque Terre, (a string of towns along Italy’s northern Mediterranean coast). The area is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO because of its exquisite shoreline and the hill towns clustered on its rocky promontories...

THE ALLENS

Erik Bünger
A sound and video installation where a computer program continuously changes between the different vocal incarnations of Woody Allen.
