TWO SKIES

Lukas Marxt
For this piece, Marxt filmed the horizon from a drilling platform in the Gulf of Bothnia (Sweden) at two different times of day: dawn and dusk. In the editing, the artist flipped the images of the extremely dark, mysterious rippling water horizontally in order to stick them oppositely to each other...

Y,X

Shelbatra Jashari
Shelbatra Jashari’s films are grounded in experimental films of the 1960s and ’70s, fused with contemporary concerns, both personal and social. Jashari creates fragmented, grainy, dreamy visual sequences that unfold randomly. ‘Y,X’ is a personal travelogue which leads through the Balkans to northern France...

ACIDITÉS

Charley Case
In this short film of a dance performance, Charley Case plays with showing and hiding, presentation and representation. In an industrial space the performers Violetta Todo and Roberto Olivan dance like in trance to the tunes of atmospheric electronic music. While Olivan dances, he projects onto his body a film with a projector that is fitted into a body harness he is wearing...

CIRCULAR INSCRIPTION

Lukas Marxt
A mountain range on the horizon separates the cloudy sky from the dusty desert soil of the El Mirage Dry Lake, with the sounds of a distant roar. In the long shot, the gaze shows a detail of the Californian Mojave landscape, whose static panorama forms the referential and also material background for Circular Inscription...

PLANET-X

Harald Thys
 In 'Planet X' two courageous astronauts—two awkward dolls—are sent on an expedition to Planet X, the last unknown planet. A lot of surprises await the two friends on their journey. As they test the weapons that are meant to defend them, they come into contact with a strange, primitive society.  ...

Charley Case

A PLACE TO BE

Peter Downsbrough
A Place to Be is a dialectical exploration of two specific locations and urban conditions, one on the interior, the other on the exterior, while the soundtrack moves back and forth between ambient sounds and music (Satie’s piano music for instance)...

WARBURGBALLETTEN

Koen Theys
'Warburgballetten' was inspired by the life and work of Aby Warburg (1866-1929). It is an homage to this founder of iconography. The image is divided in two parts: a smaller one on the left, with figures from (mainly) renaissance paintings; and a bigger part on the right, with figures from propaganda posters that were made during World War I...

DE KUS #3 (KRISTALKUS)

Frank Theys
The third instalment of Frank Theys’ series 'The Kiss'. In this silent short film that is part of an installation to be played in a loop, we see a couple intensively French kissing. Using the medium of the MRI scan, the computer translates this image into a 3D-object, spinning around itself endlessly....

3 MINUTES OF DARKNESS

Edith Dekyndt
‘3 minutes of darkness’ gives an approach to the visual perception the individual has of the world from the viewpoint of the astronauts: the work shows the rotation of Earth from geostationary stations. We see a completely dark image, but the contours of the continents are spotlighted by the signs of human presence...
