EVERYBODY LOVES NOTHING (EMPATHIC EXERCIZES)

Steve Reinke
Reinke completed ‘Everbody Loves Nothing’ during his stay as an artist-in-residence at Video In in Vancouver. For this film, Reinke used archival footage from the Prelinger Archive in New York. The seven episodes are linked thematically. Each one takes an archival clip and inserts a narrator who, while speaking in the first person, moves smoothly between the first and third....

DEAR ADVISOR

Vincent Meessen
Meessen’s work is set in Chandigarh, the paragon of the modernist city planned by Le Corbusier in the 1950ies as a symbol of the new, progressive nation of India who had just emerged from its colonial past...

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...

RELOCATION

Pieter Geenen
Situated at the point where four countries meet (Turkey, Iran, Azerbaijan and Armenia), mount Ararat is Armenia’s most important national symbol, full of mythological meaning and believed to be the place where Noah’s Ark stranded. Once part of a larger Armenia, mount Ararat is now located in Turkey...

CROSSING ASIDE

Mira Sanders - Cédric Noël

LIQUID STATES

Edith Dekyndt
For this year-long project, Edith Dekyndt regularly recorded the meteorology webcam images from coastlines in different corners of the globe, so that she could visit these landscapes without the sun ever setting. Seven monitors each broadcast the views of a single place, positioned one after the next in chronological order...

CASA

Michel François
‘CASA’ is an extensive collage of film fragments, capturing numerous subjects and sensations. The artist makes an appeal to the five senses and the four elements. Movement is also very central in ‘CASA’. It starts with waves overflowing a wall. The element water. A close-up of elbows rubbing a rough surface. Two hands are grabbing a face covered in clay. Touch...

A BOY NEEDS A FRIEND

Steve Reinke
Steve Reinke ostensibly turns to the subjects of friendship and intimacy in "A Boy Needs A Friend", in particular investigating the notion of queer Nietzschean friendship...

TANIA, MODÈLE POUR PHOTOS DE CHARME

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...
