DE ZANGER DEMODOKOS
Jan Vromman'De zanger Demodokos' returns to the basics of our culture. In a short meditation about the role of text and music, of seeing and blindness, Jan Vromman evokes the blind singer from Homer - the darling of the muses.

THE PORTERS

BETWEEN FLASHBACK AND DÉJÀ-VU
Krassimir TerzievTwo cameras monitor each other persistently. One - fixed on a tripod, turned directly up to the sky, while the second is attached to a drone that draws a vertical take off above the spot of the tripod, and landing back, trying to keep as much as possible the vertical axes of movement. The views from the two sources alternate with various frequency in the process of editing...
TIME STICKS TO THE WALLS

VLAANDEREN IN VOGELVLUCHT
Jef CornelisAn outlook on Flanders from the air. The familiar landscape is explored as it could never be explored before and this liberating experience makes it even more familiar in many ways. The spaces, plains and roads are taken up as part of a bigger unity – like on a roadmap, if it weren’t for the fact that the movement could make the exploration take place in a much more physical way...
