OVERVIEW TITLES

LOSS

Hans Op de Beeck
The work of Hans op de Beeck always breathes an atmosphere of profound emptiness. Characters, without words and totally alienated, stride through desolate landscapes and situations, out of which all hope seems to have leaked away. This is a world, seemingly lavished in the acid of everyday life, drenched in the liquid of loss...

REPROMOTION

Jan De Cock
In Repromotion, the first film by the artist Jan De Cock, we see a new perspective opening up in his work. The title refers to the exhibition of the same name held at Bozar in summer 2009, which, together with the artist’s studio in Brussels, provides the backdrop for a surprising tableau...

FLUSHED-AT-ONCE

Ken Kobland
A short remembrance…a project created for an exhibition in commemoration of the events of Sept. 11. (https://www.kenkoblandfilms.com)...

COME IN

Cel Crabeels
This tape is part of an installation with the same name. It consists of a one-hour recording of a door. The image on show is mainly static. It comes to life at random moments, when voices and footsteps can be heard. There is a knocking at the door, sometimes violent. Someone is fiddling the handle. Footsteps are running away...

LAURIEN, MARCH 1996

Manon de Boer
In 1996 Manon de Boer made a series of black-and-white portraits with Super 8 – her first time-based work. She filmed a couple of her friends during moments of intense concentration: Laurien reading a book, Robert playing guitar. These are moments when they forget, just for an instance, what is staring at them; they are unaware of the camera’s presence...

TURKEY

Messieurs Delmotte
In this video Messieurs Delmotte juggles about with a turkey. He appears and disappears; his face is hidden behind the beast, creating an impression that the turkey is taking poses in before the camera. Delmotte, a self-declared poser, sneers at the institutionalised art world with his mischievous and surprising actions, trivial in content and simple in form...

HERE

Peter Downsbrough
A video triptych (‘And’, ‘Here’, ‘As...’) fully recorded in the area around Lille and Tourcoing, commissioned for the exhibition ‘La ville qui fait signes’ at Le Fresnoy (autumn 2004)...

RAOUL DE KEYSER

Jef Cornelis
A view on Raoul de Keyser’s exhibition in the contemporary art section of the Royal Museum in Antwerp: views of the museum, entrance hall and rooms housing the Raoul de Keyser exhibition. Raoul de Keyser strolls with Jef Cornelis across a football pitch in Deinze talking about the influence of football on his paintings. We see a few paintings on football pitch themes....

EEN OPENBAAR BAD VOOR MUNSTER

Jef Cornelis
’Kasper König’s Münster Sculpture Project’ is an event held every ten years in Münster, a small city in the Rhine valley both near Cologne and Frankfurt. Münster got catapulted back in 1977, when curator König and Münster museum chief Klaus Bussmann set up a show of public art in the city...

TRAUNSTEIN

Nicolas Dufranne - Julie Gasemi
Claire discovers that she appears in a poor quality film found on the internet. She sees herself at the window of her house, accompanied by a man she does not know. They look like they are in love. She decides to set out in search of that stranger, towards Traunstein. The characters are caught up in a narrative which seems to repeat itself indefinitely...
