VOICE-OVER

Roy Villevoye
Set in the Asmat region in the Indonesian part of New Guinea, Voice-Over overlays the construction of a traditional wooden sculpture with a phone call about a sales deal gone wrong. The death of Roy Villevoye’s Papuan friend Omoma is the reason for the creation of the sculpture, a ritual that also functions as a memorial ceremony...

THE ASCENT OF MAN. PART III: ACTS OF CONSUMPTION

Jayce Salloum
’Acts of Consumption’, to consume or to consume oneself. Sex and violence, sermons of love and social struggle, demonstrations, demolitions. The analogies become almost narrative. From a sex scene to a dissection one, we pass from love to science by interposed organs. Lovers’ hands caress, those of the doctor dissect. Science brings forth technology : screens, clocks, machines.....

STARDUST

Nicolas Provost
Provost’s 2007 piece ’Plot point’ used a subtle combination of music, editing and photography to lead the viewer into a subconscious process of establishing and discovering a story. ’Stardust’ takes this a stage further, manipulating recorded conversations taken from films as well as background music...

COME IN

Cel Crabeels
This tape is part of an installation with the same name. It consists of a one-hour recording of a door. The image on show is mainly static. It comes to life at random moments, when voices and footsteps can be heard. There is a knocking at the door, sometimes violent. Someone is fiddling the handle. Footsteps are running away...

KAIROS

Alexis Destoop
Kairos (καιρός) is an ancient Greek word meaning the “right or opportune moment”. The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological time, the latter signifies “a time in between,” a break in the continuity of time, a moment in which something special happens...

SHE MIGHT BELONG TO YOU

Eva Meyer - Eran Schaerf
Using films of different genres and from different times that play in or against backdrops of Münster, a female memory activist puts together an ambivalent cinematic memory of the city...

THE ASCENT OF MAN. PART I: SILENT RUNNING

Jayce Salloum
’Silent Running’ opens on a scene of running water. Nature, therefore, comes first , accompanied by old choral music. This is what preceeds the ascent of Man. Then, from running water we pass on to landscape. River banks, trees go by. Suddenly an abrupt stop, the image freezes : enough nature. Feet and legs of passers-by stream along the sidewalk like the water following a flow...

L'ANIMATION À L'ÈRE DES MÉDIAS

Joëlle de La Casinière - Michel Bonnemaison
Enrique Ariman reads from an essay by futurist artist Derrick de Kerckhove, on the cultural and social impact of the electronic media. Inspired by the ideas of Marshall McLuhan, de Kerckhove describes a new electronic reality, in which television plays a central part. At the same time the visual language also reflects on television, his visual language and genealogy...

IDIOT'S BREW

Antonin De Bemels
The videos by Antonin de Bemels are - literally - attempts: explorations of the body and gestures, of rhythm and movement. He is fascinated by the importance of a single image and interweaves all kinds of visual stimuli in a complex associative network by means of the 'scrubbing' effect, the visual equivalent of auditive 'scratching'...
