STAR SYSTEM
Edith DekyndtEdith Dekyndt’s work seeks to move us by means of nothing or almost nothing. Things are made and unmade very quickly, and it is this speed between appearance and disappearance, sometimes slowed down to be lost, which makes up Dekyndt’s images.

INCH'ALLAH
Ria PacquéeAn associative mosaic of tiny instances in images and sound, zapping from east to west, from Belgium to Tunisia, from France to Israel, Morocco or Yemen. A reflection of everyday reality. The video shows an important step in the evolution of Ria Pacquée’s earlier work, where she headed out into the streets with a camera, arranging her images around formal elements...
