MADRIGAAL

Lili Dujourie
A bare wooden floor fills the screen. Encircled tightly by the camera, a clothed figure rolls, folds and unfolds upon itself between pauses of variable duration. Resorting to the close-up reinforces the sculptural aspect of the body. A contrapuntal rhythm emerges as each successive change in form overlaps the previous one in a movement that never discloses the contours of a fixed state of being...

DE KUNSTENAARS VLAKBIJ / LES ARTISTES À CÔTÉ

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 images are linked to recordings made on Boulder Highway in Las Vegas...
