UNDEAD VOICES
Maria Iorio - Raphaël CuomoUndead Voices focuses on the archive as a subject rather than a repository of material, and invites us to reflect critically on the absences it encompasses, on the politics of knowledge, on possible alternative ways of writing history. The starting point is a Super 8mm amateur film, Donne emergete!, made in 1975 by filmmaker Isabella Bruno...
ENTRE L'OMBRE ET LA LUMIÈRE
Danièle Nyst - Jacques Louis NystAn installation of Jacques-Louis Nyst, in which a blonde woman, dressed in leather SM-outfit, is filmed in a dark room. She performs a slow choreography in which she scinds with a sword and strikes a metal chain.

HOW PHOTOGRAPHS ARE STORED IN THE BRAIN
Steve Reinke‘How Photographs Are Stored in the Brain’ assembles an archive of photographs and phonograph recordings discovered in an empty house. They are not my photographs or (presumably) your photographs, so they stand in for the idea of a family archive. A ruthless animation, sentimental and quietly mocking, yet perhaps still able to evoke sadness and longing....
MUSÉE DE L'HOMME
Jacques LennepVideo, apart from photography and holography, was but one of the media Lennep made use of during the 1970s, as he was adding on to his ‘museum of men’. His human models were derived from all layers of the populations, but they shared a common obsession for collecting things or, at the very, least an unusual passion...
DÉJÀ VU (HALLU)
Michel FrançoisMichel François is fascinated by the small signs of life, the trivial moments and touches that are bestowed with every appearance of magic at the right time.

CONTAINER 09: OVER ROES
Jef CornelisA fragment from Aldoux Huxley‘s ’The Doors of Perception’ is the starting-point for a reflection on intoxication. Intoxication might be perceived as one of the universal longings of mankind. The Romantic tradition of Baudelaire talks of “artificial paradises”, but outside the Western society intoxication has a much more ambivalent function than escapism alone...
