OVERVIEW TITLES

ROND EST LE MONDE

Olivier Dekegel
In the company of a mule and a Super8 camera, a filmmaker walks through the world enchanted by the beauty of all things. Inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi's "Praise of the Creatures", an enlightened and candid contemplation driven by the changing light of seasons. This film is an invitation to a voyage, a voyage around the world with the most simple and humble of all animals, the donkey...

KORAAL

Lili Dujourie
Koraal (Coral, 1978) is constructed around the close-up image of fingers slowly peeling an orange, separating the segments of flesh and throwing the fruit’s sections, one by one, off-camera. This concrete action that doesn't represent anything but itself emits a heightened sensuality...

COUDES

Michel François
A pair of elbows, of which the owner is wearing a purple sweater, keeps robbing against a rough surface over and over again. Holes appear gradually on the fabric....

VIVE LA PEINTURE

Jacques Lennep
In this short conceptual film by the Belgian pioneering video artist, Lennep films himself while he paints. We notice the canvas, the easel, the artist’s palette and his brushes, the artist in profile. However, on the white canvas no contours or colours appear...

FUTUR ANTÉRIEUR (A.K.A. DISCIPLES OF THE HEINOUS PATH - PART 1: THE PAIN OF EVERYONE)

Herman Asselberghs
Clocking in just under twenty minutes, Herman Asselberghs’ Futur Antérieur is, for the most part, a decidedly ‘anti-retinal’ affair: it consists of fifteen minutes of utter, stifling blackness filled with quasi-intolerable noise and an occasional glimmer of distant, shimmering twilight...

THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 52. LOVE LETTER TO DOUG

Steve Reinke
I think it’s true what they say in all those songs: falling in love requires overvaluing the tiny ways in which one individual varies from another....

X

Claude Cattelain
Climb between two walls using three wooden cleats....

AN ORDER OF THINGS

Grace Schwindt
The performance took place at the Badischer Kunstverein in Karlsruhe in September 2014. One performer is hovering horizontally a meter above the ground and the other, a magician, is sitting on a chair in a corner, turned away from the audience. She gets up four times to carry out dance choreographies and then sits down again...

LE TRAIN FANTÔME

Jacques Louis Nyst - Danièle Nyst
An short film, part of an installation, where the camera follows a train, driving in the dark, trough an undeterminded snow landscape. The sound-track evocates the whistle of the train and the sound of the wheels on the steel tracks....

ECLIPS

Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven
In ‘Eclips’ Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven uses a disturbed fragment from Michelangelo Antonioni’s classic ‘L’Eclisse’. The film contains a scene in which actress Monica Vitti turns her back to the camera. Her turn is digitally slowed down and further manipulated by Van Kerckhoven...
