ROOKGORDIJN BOVEN BRUSSEL (HET INNO-DOSSIER HEROPEND)
Bram Van PaesschenThe cause of Europe’s largest department store fire remains unsolved even today. On May 22, 1967 the Brussels branch of the chain ‘A l’Innovation’ burned down to its foundations. The reason for the fire, which claimed more than three hundred lives, was arson, as far as one can tell today...

ROBERT, OCTOBER 2001
Manon de BoerFrom her dozens of portraits, Manon de Boer chose two, ’Robert, June 1996’ and ’Laurien, March 1996’, which she would - and still does - portray over an over again: the same individuals, in the same position, and within the same visual frame...

RANDOM WALK
Pascal BaesA random tour through the visual world of Pascal Baes: images showing his fascination for wriggling, squirming life, tantrist diagrams and psychedelic spirals, microbiological systems and chemical bonds are alternated with edited film fragments from the performances by Aï Suzuki...
REAL TO REAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Messieurs DelmotteIn ’Real to real photography’ a young man is shown, among others, blowing a whistle. Furthermore the image of a woman onscreen is half covered, a man is bombarded with fruit, a woman smokes a cigarette without taking it from her mouth and a head disappears behind a mountain of whipped cream...
ROSE BUT JUST A VIDEO
Karen VanderborghtA dance video of the void. The camera does not necessarily follows the movements of the dancer, but tries to record the gaps in the space where the body just has been, or where it touches the outer limits of its space occupancies....
REMÈDES À L'ENNUI
Bernard GigounonSeveral short stories, in which everyday gestures and situations are presented and entwined using pieces of wood and string. A vision of sculpture through images and the ’deceit’ of images (magic?). A game on visual imagery, music, colour, depression, form and foolishness....
RESONATING SURFACES
Manon de BoerFirst, there’s only darkness and music combined with vague, indefinable sounds, like footsteps or stumbling. Then, slowly, the image whitens, giving way bit by bit to some 16 mm film spots and scratches. Now and then, images appear for a split second. The music swells, distorted, cut through with noise...
ROBERT, JUNE 1996
Manon de BoerIn 1996 Manon de Boer made a series of black-and-white portraits with Super 8 – her first time-based work. She filmed a couple of her friends during moments of intense concentration: Laurien reading a book, Robert playing guitar. These are moments when they forget, just for an instance, what is staring at them; they are unaware of the camera’s presence...
REPÈRES EXTATIQUES

ROSE DE LIMA
Joëlle de La Casinière - Michel Bonnemaison20 kilometres off the Peruvian capital Lima, Villa El Salvador is no ordinary ‘barriada’. With its more than 300.000 inhabitants, it is a true example of self-management, autonomy and community. Born in the early 1970’s, after some 50...

REVOLVER
Jacques Louis NystAs in 'La mort d’une poule’, sound plays a key role in 'Revolver’. A real hand confronts a sculpted one. It imitates its gesture, proposes new ones. Then what we have interpreted so far as a human hand suddenly turns into a revolver....
