SCRUB SOLOS SERIES

Antonin De Bemels
The Scrub Solos are the result of a collaboration between video-maker Antonin de Bemels and dancer/choreographer Bud Blumenthal. The first step was a series of slow motion improvisations filmed in semi-obscurity with a super 8 camera adjusted to a ’long exposure’ setting...

AMERICA'S ARMY

Jos De Gruyter
As the video ‘America’s Army’ takes off we see how two brothers, Christoffel and Ryan, transport home their recently acquired computer. They spend the rest of the time totally isolated from the world in their attic, playing ‘America’s Army’, a computer game in which the player is recruited by the Special Forces of the American army...

ATTENTION PUBLIC

Cooper Battersby - Emily Vey Duke
A 10 minute experimental narrative telling the story of Karen Annasdaughter, a young woman raised by a group of radicals in the woods of Nova Scotia. With this project Vey Duke and Battersby aim to clear a psycho-spiritual space for the viewer which was not cleared before. "We want this space to contain empathy (identification) and joy...

THE PERFECT SQUARE

Gernot Wieland
Gernot Wieland (born 1968 in Horn, Austria) worked for twelve years with an animal trainer who taught birds to fly in circles or squares. The title itself invokes the intellectual purity of geometric forms, considered superior by analytical philosophy to describe the laws of nature...

TWILIGHT

Michel Lorand
This film, taken on a stormy day along the coast of the North Sea, simultaneously registers the development of a storm and the descent of nightfall. The wide panoramic image shows us a stretch of sand and surf, and the turbulent sky above. A courageous walker passes by with his dog. The camera too braves the harsh weather conditions...

The animated film ’City of Progress’ traces the growth of an imaginary city as it expands from a single dot into a proliferation of lines and geometric forms, representing the physical development of a city...

MEDIASTUDIEN (NACH HEINRICH HOFFMANN)

Koen Theys
In 1927 (years before he came to power in Germany), Adolf Hitler posed in a studio for his private photographer Heinrich Hoffmann. The pictures they made were used to study the dramatic effects of certain gestures, and how to use them during Hitler’s public apparitions. Hitler was one of the first (if not the first) politician(s) who introduced the idea of media-training...

DIANA

Koen Theys
In a home movie by Adolf Hitler, one can see Eva Brown playing naked in a lake near a waterfall. This video is inspired by those images. Diana, the Greek-Roman goddess of fertility and war, is also known as the goddess of the hunt. She runs naked through the dunes with her bow...

THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 58. MINNESOTA INVENTORY

Steve Reinke
I like mechanics magazines. I have a good appetite. I awake fresh and rested most mornings. There seems to be a lump in my throat much of the time. I enjoy detective or mystery stories....

AN ORDER OF THINGS

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...
