LEEDSTAPE
Cel CrabeelsThe people that move through Leeds seem to have a purpose, they are going somewhere. The artist chose not to. He carried out interventions at various times and places in the public space of the city. They became slightly disturbing when obstructing the natural flow of people, things and situations...
DISCONNECTION
Sam PeetersIt’s been more than 10 years since the financial crisis wreaked havoc across the globe. Shrouded in mystery, the financial sector is most notable by its expensive office buildings scattered around metropoles. Shot at La Défense, Paris, this film contemplates corporate architecture and its effect on, and significance for, society...
THE BEERS
Messieurs DelmotteBeer cans are displayed on the stairs of a building. Delmotte goes on crushing them one by one with his feet. This work is part of the series 'Rejected videos'...
A L'OMBRE DE L'HYPERBOLOÏDE
Lucile DesamoryIn several respects the films of Lucile Desamory savour of the work by Stan Vanderbeek, who extracted a style of his very own from an amalgam of film, drawings and stopaction animation – and it’s no coincidence that this style became a source of inspiration for the absurd animations by Terry Gilliam...

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...
COLOURS
Hans Op de Beeck‘Colours’ shows a series of portraits in a loop. The first images are static, and the shots are as elaborate as paintings. Detailed colour and frame compositions reinforce the ties with painting. But then there is movement, the blinking of an eye, and the immobility that follows it gets a whole new meaning....
