CHANSON, LIED, SONG

Cel Crabeels
The video shows an old lady in a home for the elderly. She sings the story of her own life, in improvised, rhyming phrases. Echoes from another age, language mosaics from an animated past receive an anachronous echo through added electronic sound collages, as a collision of time, memory and sound. The music is by Ederen Tatio / Stefaan Vinckevleugel....

PIEDS À L'ENVERS

Michel François
In Pieds à l'Envers, the camera is turned upside down and rotates around and around the artist's feet. The sound of the footsteps of the artist gives a sort of understanding of his action, but the focus is on his feet while the background keeps on moving in a continuous circle.

APHASIA 3RD CHAPTER

Jelena Jureša

We identify it in speech, we identify it in motion. It is heard, but not directly seen...

THE WAVE

Sarah Vanagt - Katrien Vermeire
In "The Wave" the archaeological gaze of the viewer is set in motion: a mass grave from the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) opens and closes itself. In 2011 we placed a camera above the spot where nine victims were buried after their execution by Franco’s supporters in June 1939...
