PERIPHERAL LIGHT AIR AND SUN

Krassimir Terziev - Daniel Kötter
In most European cities nowadays many more people live in the peripheries than in the city cores. And yet the peripheral spaces receive much less public, academic or political attention than those iconographic spaces in the center that place the image of a city on the map of competitive global tourism and city marketing...

YVES SOMVILLE DANS LE RÔLE DE JESUS-CHRIST

Jacques Lennep
Video, 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...

WANDELEN IN BINNENLAND: PORTRET VAN DE FOTOGRAAF JULIEN COULOMMIER

Jan Vromman
The Belgian photographer Julien Coulommier doesn’t deal in the exotic, the eccentric, the technical performance; he penetrates the depth of banality, he is profoundly connected with his subjects. An Inland Walk is not only a portrait of a photographer, but also a portrait of the artistic context, the spirit of the time in which the work was developed (Cobra, etc.)...

DAS MODELL

Florian Gwinner
Reality bites its own tail. Florian Gwinner constructs a model of a world from the viewpoint that reality and its model are one. Starting with a white horizon, a camera tracks slowly backwards in a straight line. On its way, it glides past a few signs of human existence. Gradually, these make way for a church, houses, carsm then ever-wider streets and urban highrises...

TWILIGHT

Michel Lorand
This film, taken on a stormy day along the coast of the North Sea, simultaneously registers the development of a storm and the descent of nightfall. The wide panoramic image shows us a stretch of sand and surf, and the turbulent sky above. A courageous walker passes by with his dog. The camera too braves the harsh weather conditions...

DEATH FUCKING METAL

Koen Theys
This video is the third and final part of a trilogy, in which Fanfare, Calme & Volupté (2007) was the first part and PATRIA (2008) the second. In all three video works a group of people in uniform are lying around in a state of depression in a spectacular setting...

LE SEMEUR DE PENSÉES

DECORATION

Florian Gwinner
In Decoration the camera spins around its own axis. Different arrangements merge. Plants, materials, electrical devices. A mini evolution of the constructedness of the world....

NEARLY PRESENT, JUST PAST

Cel Crabeels
"If I were young, I would destroy a Dan Graham piece, I would smash the goddamn Dan Graham piece." (Dan Graham in an interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist, 2001) This subjective-documentary video is part of a project on the violent and thorough destruction of a pavilion by the American artist Dan Graham...
