FABRICA/BRIGHTON DAY 5

Claude Cattelain
Doing a video each day. Day 5: leaving the camera in the sea and waiting to see what's has been recorded....

DU NOIR DANS LE VERT

Marie-France Martin - Patricia Martin
This video was created for the exhibition Speelhoven ’04 and was inspired by the cabane which artist Hans Op De Beeck developed in situ in 2001 for that same exhibition series. The work sits there like a drab observatory, with a view on two walnuts, lost in the middle of a vast, green meadow. One is alive, towering high above the caved-in remains of the other, dead tree...

INTERNATIONALE MEESTERCURSUS LIEDINTERPRETATIE. EEN CURSUS MET ERIK EN ADY WERBA (08/08/1971 – 29/08/1971)

ONE BY ONE

Marie Voignier - Vassilis Salpistis
One by one is a fifteen minute experimental film-collage, which is composed by a number of testimonies and texts relating to historical events and crisis in Greece. The assemblage converges the exploration of contemporary applications of the function of myth. To a great extend consisting of filmed photographs, even when in motion the images of the film suggest the stillness of a stable shot...

SAINTS’GAME

Amélie Derlon Cordina
There are periods of strong awareness of the sacred, and periods of desacralization. The film begins with an image, fed by the artist's own obsession with iconic representations, especially those of Christian saints...

SLAVE UNIT

Cel Crabeels
‘Slave unit’ is a notion which indicates the status of network equipment. In photography it denotes the power of flash installations; a distinction is always made between dominant and subjected. In the video by Cel Crabeels the idea is applied to a setting with two dancers, a director, the camera, video equipment, the stage and the audience...

MOBY DICK

Jan Bultheel
Jan Bulteel gave the subtitle “a sentimental epic” to his oeuvre, and that is precisely to what we are treated here. A sailor who has got into low water sets out on a quest to find the love of his life in the port of Antwerp. But with merely an old photograph of her in his pocket, he doesn’t get very far...

WAITING WORKING HOURS

Ben De Raes
In a street in Brussels, day laborers are looking for a job for one day. Gathered in small groups, they wait for hours until a white van picks them up. They get dropped off at a construction site or field. Employers pay small salaries and no social security is provided. With their personal testimonies Waiting Working Hours wants to give a voice to these clandestine workers...

FROGSORROW

Luc Gobyn
A tragic tale of extras, side-figures in well-known and soon-to-be-created fairy tales, and, most of all, loads of kitsch....

M'ZAB, STEDELIJK WONEN IN DE WOESTIJN

Jef Cornelis
M’zab, on a couple of cities by the border of the desert in Algeria, proposes an extraordinary architecture of living: in an unwelcoming environment a religiously inspired community has developed a very particular style of living over the centuries. The efficiency of prehistoric habitation construction engineering can still be admired here...
