OVERVIEW TITLES

JUMPY CHICKEN

Messieurs Delmotte
This time the title is particularly ironic as the chicken is not actually jumping. Two strings are attached to its legs, which are used to pull the chicken away. This work is part of the series Facts and Gestures Vol. 2...

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...

HEIMAT

Sam Peeters
Right-wing populism is spreading through Western Europe like wildfire. It is most popular in quiet, white neighbourhoods where people are shielded from different cultures and lifestyles.In this unscripted documentary, Sam Peeters portrays an ironic caricature of life in the Flemish suburbs, which reflects the current European zeitgeist....

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...

REPÈRES EXTATIQUES

Hänzel & Gretzel
Lies can bring happiness if you realise they are real! A series of panels where you can meet the ever-ecstatic Teresa de Avila, the mightily phlegmatic Anubis and other perverted figures of a strange third mind world....

COMMENT FILMER MOLENBEEK?

Johan Grimonprez - Franciska Lambrechts
The result of a workshop for which Franciska Lambrechts supplied a varied company of individuals and some basic equipment: a super-8 camera with 3 B/W films. What we see is a creative montage wherein the workshop and the discussed topics itself are at the core....

NEAR AND FAR / NOW AND THEN

Ken Kobland
A two-part film, one part unedited camera footage of a late Autumn to Winter woods, and the other a highly manipulated blue-screen re-photography process. Each part mimics the action of the other. Each is involved with a background-foreground, motion-to-still image juxtaposition: with the whole to the part, the arrested moment to the one just gone, the nostalgia of space and time.

BLACK BEHIND WHITE

Andreas Brehmer
In this video compilation, Brehmer toys around with words, images and sounds as in some sort of visual essay concerned with how we perceive things, how we describe them and how we deal with them. In order to understand what we see, a certain amount of belief in what we see is indispensable. Brehmer tests the associative imaginative powers of the spectator...

JAMES LEE BYARS: WORLD QUESTION CENTER

Jef Cornelis
The work of the American artist James Lee Byars (1932-1997) resists any strict definition or categorisation. He was greatly influenced by his many travels, as well as by for example Zen philosophy and Noh theatre, which he discovered during the years he spent in Japan. While his oeuvre relates to conceptual, minimal and performance art, it is not limited to any of these genres...

DIVINATIONS

Sarah Vanagt
Children from Brussels, Athens and Sarajevo roll out strips of transparent tape onto the streets where they were raised. When they peel back the tape it is left with an imprint of the city: dust, sand, sweet wrappers, insects, glass, fluff ... An ultra-realistic diary that is brought to life by an old magic lantern. Do all these shapes and images tell us something about the future?...
