Bernard GigounonIn this video piece from Bernard Gigounon, we take part in the birth of a loop, one that we might define as the life and death of the image of the American Hero. The actor, each and every time, is the killer of his own image, sometimes older, sometimes younger, often in different aesthetic contexts according to the respective filmic universe he inhabits...
DANS LA MAISON (DU MONTFAUCON RESEARCH CENTER)
Joëlle de La CasinièreWithout trying to explain or comment upon the images, the film Dans la Maison (du Montfaucon Research Center) aims simply at bringing to view documents surrounding the person of Sophie Podolski within the Montfaucon Research Center in Brussels, from 1969 until 1973. Podolski was a frequent visitor of the house over the timespan of these five years...

The slides are from photographer Julien Coulommier, the words are written and read by poet Chris Yperman...
TANIA, MODÈLE POUR PHOTOS DE CHARME
Jacques LennepVideo, 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...
