4 X 4 – EPISODES OF SINGAPORE ART

THE CONVERSATION
Harald ThysVoice-over of three friends are talking to each other. One of them, Jack, is telling a story about a man called Norman, who stayed at a wellness resort because of his severe rheumatic attacks.

UNMASTERED BEHAVIOUR
Wim CatrysseThe video works of Wim Catrysse are sometimes relics of performances.

THE SPINNING WHEEL
Harald Thys - Jos De GruyterHarald Thys and Jos de Gruyter make videos in their own typical style. Man is hardly a pawn in a game of chess, a tragicomic puppet functioning in a system which surpasses him. The style is minimalist, the characters are determined by the structure and they are limited in space, language and movement...
