OVERVIEW TITLES

I HATE THIS TOWN

Nicolas Provost
"Softcore images on hardcore rhythms". This video consists of a collage of extravagant character action close-ups in porn films. Their suggestive movements were repetitively edited onto the rhythms of electronic music, resulting in a slapstick situation....

FLY

Shelly Silver
In FLY, the camera wonders around a room until it stops on a tapestry dominated by two peacocks in front of each other. Then, a voice over tells about a fugitive encounter....

SECUESTRANDO A BARBIE/MONO NO MONOGATARI

Lazara Rosell Albear
Secuestrando a Barbie is an intimate portrait of Venezuelan Daniela Gallegos alias Aerea Negrot alias Miss Dandruf. A singer, performer, electronic music producer and DJ. A cinematic, minimal but multilayered portrait that seeks to reconstruct a personality that chose to disguise herself in the many ones that are perceived throughout the work...

CAPTIVE HORIZON

Lukas Marxt
Captive Horizon operates on a delicate line between reality and illusion. Lukas Marxt´s favourite motifs – barren landscapes, seemingly untouched by humans, but at the same time suggestively apocalyptic, and subtle changes in perception that play tricks on the observer – construct a peculiar narrative filled with mysterious angles and twists...

GRAVITY

Nicolas Provost
Playing with the physiological and cinematographic principle of the after-image, Provost causes dozens of fast-edited kissing scenes from European and American film classics to collide...

PIECES FOR TUMBLING WOODBLOCKS

Filip Francis
A series of different experiments at an artistic workshop, a tunnel in Antwerp and in a gallery, with simple oblong pieces of wood, placed one after the other in such a way that, when the first one is touched, a chain-reaction is set off with the pieces falling backwards....

A.M./P.M.

Herman Asselberghs
There is no visible human presence in ’a.m./p.m’. Photos of cosmopolitan city landscapes are systematically scanned along with display views of office blocks, flats, dark corners, illuminated windows and skyscrapers. On the soundtrack one can hear a woman’s voice, talking about herself and the world, about images of today, about a journey...

METAMORFOSE VAN HET OBJECT (1910-1970 PSK BRUSSEL)

Jef Cornelis
In 1971 the Palace of Fine Arts in Brussels presented an overview of modern and contemporary art at a large retrospective with sixty years of visual arts. The subtitle of the exhibition was Art and Anti-Art. It featured work by famous Belgian and international artists, including René Magritte, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp and many others...

BUENOS AIRES

Jef Cornelis
Buenos Aires, Baires or B.A., where the corridors of the National Bank were once piled high with heaps of gold, is trying to awaken from a number of simultaneous nightmares (the colonels’ regime, inflation, terror). The visual artist César Paternosto (La Plata, 1931) left Baires in 1964, because he felt he was banging his head, like a balloon, on the ceiling...
