TOPIC II
Pascal BaesThe French film theorist André Bazin used to consider film as a spell of time. He spoke triumphantly of a victory on the irreversibility and the transitoriness of life.

GRENZSTEINE
Ulrike KnorrAlong the former border between East and West Germany, on the Eastern side there was an area of about 5km of width, where access was made difficult for the larger part of the population.

BOULEVARD D'YPRES / IEPERLAAN
Sarah VanagtThe Boulevard d’Ypres in Brussels, with its large and colourful Mediterranean stores, offers glimpses of the Tales of the Thousand and One Nights. Urban development is now driving out these shops selling couscous, dates and olives. It is this turning point in the history of her own street that Vanagt uses as a starting point for a ’microhistorical experiment’...
