UNDEAD VOICES

Maria Iorio - Raphaël Cuomo
Undead Voices focuses on the archive as a subject rather than a repository of material, and invites us to reflect critically on the absences it encompasses, on the politics of knowledge, on possible alternative ways of writing history. The starting point is a Super 8mm amateur film, Donne emergete!, made in 1975 by filmmaker Isabella Bruno...

STANDARD TRIANGULATION

Adam Leech
Presented in an ingenious mise-en-scene, Adam Leech introduces the concept of triangulation. Such a “trialogue” can describe social, as well as legal, governmental or family situations better than a dialogue. A jazz singer is shown. While she performs jazz standards, she’s distracted by something off screen...

IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT IF YOU COME AGAIN, ONLY NEXT TIME DON’T BRING ANY GEAR, EXCEPT A TEA KETTLE…

Johan Grimonprez
The multi-channel installation ‘It will be all right if you come again, only next time don’t bring any gear, except a tea kettle…’ (1994-2004) explores the creation of new mythologies in the wake of Western imperialism...

46BIS

Pascal Baes
46bis looks like primitive film, like pictures from way back you’ve just found in an old, dusty trunk up the attic. You run it cautiously through the projector and discover an amazing world. This vivid movie is supported by a hallucinated tenderness of dance à la Rimbaud, performed in the big tradition of surrealism and happiness of free spirits...

LIED VAN MIJN LAND - DEEL 1: DAS RHEINGOLD

Frank Theys - Koen Theys
This is the first part of the diptych Lied van mijn Land (’Song of my Soil’), based on Richard Wagner’s operas ’Der Ring der Nibelungen’ and ’Parcifal’. In ’Der Ring der  Nibelungen’, an interpretation of a germanic mythological epic, the composer associates power with the possession of gold...

VLAANDEREN IN VOGELVLUCHT

Jef Cornelis
An 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...
