PERIPHERAL LIGHT AIR AND SUN

Krassimir Terziev - Daniel Kötter
In most European cities nowadays many more people live in the peripheries than in the city cores. And yet the peripheral spaces receive much less public, academic or political attention than those iconographic spaces in the center that place the image of a city on the map of competitive global tourism and city marketing...

LANDSCAPE AND DESIRE

Ken Kobland
Record of a solitary sojourn across America on a Greyhound bus. A mordant, nostalgic photo album of mute streets, empty rooms and serene fields; the landscape remains of a civilisation which has momentarily disappeared....

THE SOCIALIST

Hubert Marécaille
Repressed homosexual, unable to have children much to the regret of his wife who disapproves of sperm donation, a corporate CEO, disdainful of outsiders, finally reveals his inclinations by going on strike alone, to the surprise of a group of bystanders present at the end of their « Alcoholics Anonymous » meeting – with an unemployed man tired of looking for a job and an office w...

A CITY REMIX

Kurt D'Haeseleer
An answer to the genre of “city symphonies”, ‘A City Remix’ offers a look at the generic, expanded and ex/imploded contemporary cities.

THE INTRUDER

Vincent Meessen
In this video bearing the programmatic title ‘The Intruder’, we see the artist—clad head to toe in an outfit fashioned of white cotton blossoms—strolling along the bustling streets of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The camera, which does not long remain undetected (and unexposed), accompanies the performer while simultaneously recording the reactions of the observers...

LE METTEUR EN SCÈNE

Michel Lorand
The Medea installation is made up of a large, square table with four video monitors. A single actor or actress is seen on three of the four monitors, from the waist up and frontal. The fourth monitor shows only text. The starting point is a short prose piece written by Lorand about a young woman intending to kill her two children after the end of her relationship with their father...
