OVERVIEW TITLES

THERE

Peter Downsbrough
Just over two minutes long, THERE enfolds key components of Peter Downsbrough’s multiform practice: the visual vocabulary, formal strategies, and enduring themes found in his books, sculptures, architectural interventions (room pieces and wall pieces), photographs, postcards, and many of his other videos...

SUPERPOSITION

Filip Francis
This work is the result of a collaboration between Filip Francis, Luc Deleu and Wout Vercammen. It is an early experiment with image in image, split screen, zoom in, fading, overlaps and other techniques that made the medium video—just out of the cradle in the 1970s—so exciting. The three artists took the camera and set out with great enthusiasm...

PULL OVER

Michel François
A person pulling on a sweater. The sweater adopts the contours of the face beneath it without making that face fully recognisable. This gesture describes a spontaneous amalgam of interrelated postures, insights and associations....

STILL HOLDING STILL

Sarah Vanagt
From the early days of photography, we know a series of photographs called ‘Invisible Mothers’. In each of these portraits of young children, a ghostly apparition is seen behind the children...

NOCTURNE #2

Pieter Geenen
Registered with a mobile phone camera in the spring of 2011, ’nocturne #2’ shows the central lanes and squares of Tehran, and its surrounding streets, at their most quiet and empty moment of the day.

VERSUS & VERSUS

Messieurs Delmotte
A girl is lying in a sunny summer garden, face down in the grass. When Messieurs Delmotte appears in the picture, he sits down on her body. In the second part of the movie, the roles are reversed. Another absurd action from this infamous Belgian performer....

GRIMOIRE MAGNÉTIQUE

Joëlle de La Casinière
Grimoire Magnétique is the first musical “video poème” by de La Casinière, in which painting, writing and music are synchronically arranged, according to the rhythm of a deliberate composition...

ARPENTEUR

Michel François
A caterpillar is crawling over a geographical map, exploring the borders of the surface....

XY 02

Edith Dekyndt
A circle of silk thread shakes hands, passes from one to another, winds, wandering, as if he were alive. The image is presented in video-projection, leaving the terrain of the hands and the curves of the wire appear on the wall like a mural....

LIED VAN MIJN LAND - DEEL 2: DIE WALKÜRE

Frank Theys - Koen Theys
This is the second part of the diptych ’Lied van mijn Land’ (’Song of my Soil’), based on Richard Wagner’s operas ’Der Ring der Nibelungen’ and ’Parcifal’. At Hunding’s...
