OVERVIEW TITLES

GIROUETTE

Mira Sanders
Sanders films a weather vane on the Nieuwe Graanmarkt/ Nouveau marché au Grains in the centre of Brussels. Looking through the eye of the camera, it takes Sanders a little while to realize that at a certain moment, once the wind is blowing, the gilded weather vane has a blinding effect in the sun. Because of the camera placement, the film creates a magical time space for the viewer....

DANS LA MAISON (DU MONTFAUCON RESEARCH CENTER)

Joëlle de La Casinière
Without trying to explain or comment upon the images, the film Dans la Maison (du Montfaucon Research Center) aims simply at bringing to view documents surrounding the person of Sophie Podolski within the Montfaucon Research Center in Brussels, from 1969 until 1973. Podolski was a frequent visitor of the house  over the timespan of these five years...

VOMIT STAR

Steve Reinke - John Marriott
In 1997, John Marriott proposed ’Vomit Star’, a six-foot star constructed from fake vomit, for his solo exhibition at the Power Plant Toronto.

Edith Dekyndt
This work is the first in a series of video pieces in which the artist uses everyday objects and phenomena to create poetic tranpositions that incline toward the spiritual. ‘Slow Object 01’ shows the slow-motion travel of air across a white cloth stretched over a non-functioning fireplace in the French castle of Chambord...

Rebecca Jane Arthur
When the filmmaker found a 1967 concert ticket in Vienna, this set her on a musico-historical journey in Austria that eventually led her back home to Scotland.

(DIS)LOCATION

Meggy Rustamova

BRUNELLESCHI’S MIRROR

Justin Bennett
In Brunelleschi’s Mirror we find ourselves in the darkness, waiting for a glimpse of the world outside...

3 MINUTES OF DARKNESS

Edith Dekyndt
‘3 minutes of darkness’ gives an approach to the visual perception the individual has of the world from the viewpoint of the astronauts: the work shows the rotation of Earth from geostationary stations. We see a completely dark image, but the contours of the continents are spotlighted by the signs of human presence...
