LES MOUCHOIRS DE KABILA
Sarah Vanagt"Large parts of Goma were covered with lava after the eruption of the Nyiragongo volcano in January 2002. Today children live in the ruins on the lava. They sell paper handkerchiefs to grown-ups in the city, and lava rocks to construction builders...
THE CURSE
Harald Thys - Jos De GruyterIn the same minimalist style that would later on characterize 'The Bucket’ (2001) and 'The Spinning Wheel’ (2002), 'The Curse’ tells Maria’s unhappy story. After giving birth to her first child, she has mysteriously lost her husband’s love. The situation is as tragic as absurd, the universe it deals with as grotesque and enigmatic as alienating...
THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 26. WISH
Steve ReinkeIt has always been my wish to have been a dermatologist in Philadelphia during the Great Depression....
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW
Cel Crabeels‘Somewhere over the rainbow’ is a close-up of a whistling mouth, from a steady camera point and without narrative structure. It is a 1-hour attempt at improvisation on the theme song of the film with the same name. An obsessive image and sound, it etches itself into one’s perception. This work should be fit into a given context of presentation as a video installation...
BUNCH OF FLOWERS
Messieurs DelmotteMessieurs Delmotte, as always dressed in a dandy-like costume, holds a bouquet of yellow roses. What does he have in mind for them? A few seconds later it becomes clear. Violently he starts spinning them around with the help of a drill. Delmotte keeps on spinning and spinning, until the roses are completely demolished. This work is part of the series Brokendown Dream...

A LECTURE ON SCHIZOPHONIA
Erik BüngerRecordings of sound and image are all-pervasive in the modern world, and sometimes seem to have a life of their own. Erik Bünger’s ’lecture’ – a narrative voiced over a series of images, clips and quotations – explores what happens when the recording and the original source become separated or confused...
WIE GEWOHNT. EIN VERSATZSTÜCK
Eran Schaerf - Eva Meyer‘As Habitual’ is a set piece, a documentary fiction, about how to adapt oneself to unknown regions without surrendering to them. This movie is situated in Mombassa and Zanzibar, where you can find a material called Khanga that hovers between language and architecture, and in fact turns into a habit...
MONSIEUR EZIO BUCCI, SUPPORTER
Jacques LennepVideo, apart from photography and holography, was but one of the media Lennep made use of during the 1970s, as he was adding on to his ‘museum of men’. His human models were derived from all layers of the populations, but they shared a common obsession for collecting things or, at the very, least an unusual passion...
THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 21. SQUEEZING SORROW FROM AN ASHTRAY
Steve Reinke"We know the air is filled with vibrations that we can’t hear. In ’Variations VII’, I tried to use sounds from that inaudible environment. But we can’t consider environment as an object. We know that it’s a process. While in the case of the ashtray, we are indeed dealing with an object...
