CROSSING ASIDE

The film crossing aside is conceived as a phenomenological portrait of the Annie Vande Wiele pedestrian and bicycle bridge. It approaches the bridge not only as something people live with and use, but as something that itself lives and makes a space. Through details and fragments, the camera traces its surfaces and textures, as well as its living surroundings: birds in flight, spiders weaving webs, rippling water, passing shadows. The bridge emerges as a meeting point of technology, materiality, and environment—anchored in the landscape, the city, and time. The moving images are accompanied by a composition from Ben Bertrand, whose use of ‘gammes symmétriques’ extends the film into sound, echoing the bridge’s layered presence and rhythm.
