MADRIGAAL

Lili Dujourie
A bare wooden floor fills the screen. Encircled tightly by the camera, a clothed figure rolls, folds and unfolds upon itself between pauses of variable duration. Resorting to the close-up reinforces the sculptural aspect of the body. A contrapuntal rhythm emerges as each successive change in form overlaps the previous one in a movement that never discloses the contours of a fixed state of being...

THE LADDER 2 (ALONE)

Messieurs Delmotte
Like in a scene out of a surrealist painting, a lonely ladder is standing in a park and seems to be reaching for the sky. But this illusion is shattered when the ladder drops to the ground. This work is part of the series Facts and Gestures Vol. 2...

Eva Claus Any way

ANY WAY

Eva Claus
Any Way shows three people running together on an athletics track. The repetitive motion introduces the rhythm to a serene trance. The act of running itself is the focal point of the film: a continuous movement suspended in time. Varying frame rates allow the viewer to examine details of the motion that would otherwise be obscured by their own speed...

EIGHT CHAPTERS IN FOUR MOVEMENTS

Teresa Cos
Eight Chapters in Four Movements is a performance transposed into video. London Bridge is crossed every morning at the same time by thousands of commuters forming a river moving unidirectionally South to North. The scene is iconic and has been impressed many times in the news, films, documentaries, lullabies and poetry...

AND ALIGN

Peter Downsbrough
A fixed long viewpoint of a busy intersection is ultimately interrupted by a 180° travelling. A woman is sauntering along the street lines, almost bored. The passing of time is prominent. An everyday environment is rendered as a modernist architectonical environment; order and disorder are shown in observation, and dissected...

MY HOME IS ON THE OTHER SIDE

Yun Tien
I’m in contact with my family through the screen of my computer, even tough we are on opposite sides of the globe we share a moment together. Where is home? Here or there? I interview other people with a similar background. We talk about the reasons we left our homeland to seek a new life in Belgium. What will happen if I stay in Belgium? Will it become a new ‘home’? ...

WALLPAPER

Edith Dekyndt
A flower print on textile is extremely slowly moving in the wind. Is the a curtain? Where is it located? And what is happening behind, on the other side of it?...

CONTAINER 09: OVER ROES

Jef Cornelis
A fragment from Aldoux Huxley‘s ’The Doors of Perception’ is the starting-point for a reflection on intoxication. Intoxication might be perceived as one of the universal longings of mankind. The Romantic tradition of Baudelaire talks of “artificial paradises”, but outside the Western society intoxication has a much more ambivalent function than escapism alone...

SOUTH CIRCULAR

Mónica de Miranda
South circular first shows us two women, in the shadow of nondescript ruins over the Tagus river in Lisbon...
