S*CKMYP [4 SHORT FILMS VERSION]
Kurt D'HaeseleerS*CKMYP drops the spectator in a world continuously bombarded with digital fragmentation bombs.

Vincent MeessenThe title of this video refers, through GPS coordinates, to a location in Africa, which is both specific and abstract.

CLEAN AIR
Grace SchwindtClean Air investigates how meaning is projected onto landscapes. For instance, the Alps are linked with power, purity and cleanness, terms that were also used to describe the German identity from the 1920s onwards. Two female performers of different generations react to this mental construction with a choreography of dance, music, costumes, milk and knitting....
