ROBERT, JUNE 1996

Manon de Boer
In 1996 Manon de Boer made a series of black-and-white portraits with Super 8 – her first time-based work. She filmed a couple of her friends during moments of intense concentration: Laurien reading a book, Robert playing guitar. These are moments when they forget, just for an instance, what is staring at them; they are unaware of the camera’s presence...

STARRING

Koen Theys
The images for ’Starring’ were taken from famous filmposters, coming as well from European production companies as from Hollywood or Bollywood companies. Close-ups of famous movies stars, seemingly separated from their bodies, move very slowly across the screen. Their expressions change, from fear to anger to seriousness and so on...

A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CLARITY

Emmanuel Van der Auwera
Teenagers are watching a video on internet while videotaping their own reactions.

The endless docks turn into a poetical labyrinth with railway containers and trucks, loading docks, pallet boards and goods...

GALERIE DE PORTRAITS

Marie André
In ’Galerie de portraits’, André sketches the portraits of five women from among her closest friends and family (including her grandmother and daughter), composing an intimate, intensely private space. Her eloquent compositions focus on the quotidian, the richness inherent in such everyday gestures as watering a plant, lighting a cigarette, stirring a cup of tea...

COGELS OSYLEI, BERCHEM

Jef Cornelis
Cogels Osylei is an unique district, built around 1900 on the outskirts of Antwerp. With its exuberant mixture of neo-styles and Jugendstil, it was often discarded as the absolute limit of bad taste, to the point that plans were made in the 1970s to tear down the area altogether...
