MEETING FLORCHEN GORDON

Grace Schwindt
In this work, the artist’s grandfather remembers meeting his Jewish neighbour in Berlin during the rise of Nazi Germany. He tells this story while iluustrating it with a drawing....

THE OTHER SIDE

Peter Downsbrough
In his early work Downsbrough was already trying to generate syntax between place and meaning, language and space. ’The Other Side’ shows two aspects of the urbane surroundings: the anonymous commotion of the city centre and the intimate alienation within the flats. A street scene is followed by a long shot of a bickering man and woman, the camera keeps close after them...

PERFORMANCE METRO MEIR

Ria Pacquée
As the title indicates, this video is a recording of a performance that Pacquée did together with Danny Devos in 1979. Standing on the lowest metro platform, Pacquée is on a small wooden square. With white duck tape she has made a bigger square around it, of which she keeps on enlarging the edges with new pieces of tape...

MARINE TARGET

Lukas Marxt
The surface of the Salton Sea reflects the glistening sunlight. Sediment colors the water green at times, at the edge of the image, almost bluish. The camera that captures this gentle flickering and flowing, floats far above a white rectangle...

L'ARGENT RACONTÉ AUX ENFANTS ET À LEURS PARENTS

Claudio Pazienza
‘L’argent raconté aux enfants et à leurs parents’ (Money told to children and their parents) scrutinizes the metallic gauntness of a room with modesty and humour and tells - by bits - the story of a working family incapable of combining needs and desires. From father to son. The son is worried (the son is the film’s author), as he too will be a father soon...

THE CHAIR

Grace Schwindt
The artist interviews her grandmother about her experience of he occupation of Berlin in 1945....

ROCKY TIGER

Claude Delfosse - Jacques Charlier
Charlier recorded this video in collaboration with Claude Delfosse. In an office they interview an employee, who worked with Charlier for eight years at the STP. The man expresses his wish to be a musician. To do Charlier a favor, he performs together with his band and sings a song by Elvis Presley....

BERLAYMONT DREAMING

Justin Bennett
The Berlaymont building, seat of the European Commission, is a symbolic centre for the European quarter of Brussels as well as for Europe itself. Formally interesting is the fact that the original modernist architecture has been renovated and forseen with a new ‘skin’ or rather an armour plating, changing the outward appearance while preserving the inner form...

QUOD

Alexis Destoop
‘Quod’ is based on medical macro pictures of the eye. Through animation techniques the inner depth of the perceived “object” was accentuated. Then the animation was integrated into a 3D model, which was conceived as an unfolding surface. Contradictory principles are bundled together in a slowly transforming dynamic, a hypnotic dance of micro movements....
