VIDÉO RELATIONNELLE (1973 - 1974): COMPOSITION TRIANGULAIRE
Jacques LennepA short formal study on triangular images, shot in the woods and featuring the artist as a performer. The work is conceptual: the camera 'scans' the surroundings showing triangles formed by the legs of the artist, the branches of a tree, a stone, etcetera....
WE CAME TO DANCE
Didier VolckaertWorld Exhibitions are twilight zones in which actual knowledge about the world and exoticism go together with sexual projection and frustration. Till deep into the 20th century, the then superpowers used "Human Zoos" to spread the worldview that “we” are part of civilization, whereas there are others who are not...
HISTOIRE D'UN CORPS
Jacques LennepA short conceptual work by this Belgian pioneering video artist about corporality and memory. The artist is in a room that resembles the lavatory of a school of gym.

EXPO CHAMPÊTRE
Koen TheysA white monitor, a white table and chair. The viewer can go and sit in front of the screen.

Buses, cottages, a table, trees, lighting posts, groups of tourists with their cameras ready, a doorknob. The objects move along in an endless procession...

Jef Cornelis“C’est moy que je peins” wrote Montaigne to make it clear to the reader that he wrote his Essays in order to be seen in his “simple, natural, everyday fashion, without striving or artifice.” Writing in this instance turns out to be a basic tool for introspection and an attempt to make manifest the writer’s subjectivity...
WE HAD FUN YESTERDAY
Marion GuillardWhen I was younger, I hated my body as much as I was obsessed by images of "Nature". On the one hand, I told myself they were sublime, and that's why they existed, and on the other, I felt that as a woman, if people didn't look at me, I'd disappear. The film runs around my character's experience...
RAW MATERIALS
Justin BennettBased on personal memories reaching way back into time, Raw Materials creates a resonant patchwork with fragments of field recordings originating from divergent cities like Fribourg (Switzerland), Barcelona or Beirut. With a pitch-black image as canvas – a technique that actively shifts the attention towards the sound – snow-white text lines appear one by one in typewriter style...
WALLPAPER
Edith DekyndtA flower print on textile is extremely slowly moving in the wind. Is the a curtain? Where is it located? And what is happening behind, on the other side of it?...
