Filip Francis
Three minutes of a close-up on a clock. Suddenly, and unexpectedly, a close-up on the white lines of a highway appears. Speed and minimalism melt together. The next image is that of a labourer, lugging a pile of cables. The movement of an escalator in a subway station follows and finally the flickering of a traffic light for pedestrians changes from red to green and back again...

GEESTELIJKE GEZONDHEIDSZORG (2): PRATEN MET PATIËNTEN

Jef Cornelis
Original broadcast date: 04/03/1975...

CASCADE

Bernard Gigounon
An image of 25 seconds from a river is printed, piled on top of each other and accelerated filmed again. The magic of cinema does the rest....

FRIGOLITH

Michel François
Tiny Styrofoam balls, blasted by an invisible force. They seem caught in the screen. The fixed frame prevents us from seeing what they are in, where they are coming from. The tight framing closes the image in order to open it....

ZIMMER, GESPRÄCHE

Dora García
A Leipzig apartment is the chosen setting for an encounter between a Stasi officer and a civilian informant in ‘Zimmer Gespräche’ (‘Room, Conversations’). Until 1989, the Stasi was the all-powerful East-German police. However, neither the Stasi nor the city of Leipzig are ever specifically mentioned...

ALDEN BIEZEN

Jef Cornelis

2 FEET FOR 2 BALLS

Messieurs Delmotte
On a football field, a disabled man is standing. He stares at two balls, a red one and a yellow one. Suddenly, the balls start to move and get closer and closer to the man till they climb up to his arms. This work is part of the series UNDO / REDO...

PAU BRASIL : JE VINDT NIET, WAT JE ZOEKT

Jef Cornelis
’You don’t find what you’re looking for’ is a phrase that can be found on a work of art by Brazilian artist Cildo Meireles. In their work, Meireles and several other contemporary Brazilian artists, continually give expression to the formal and social tension in which Brazilian culture finds itself...

FACE À FACE (PART OF PAS DE DANSE)

Eric Pauwels
‘Face à face’ is considered by many to be nothing more than a “simple recording” of a performance by Michèle Anne De Mey. The spirit of the performance is certainly sublimely reproduced, but there is more. ‘Face à face’ is to some extent the synthesis of Pauwels’s earlier experiments...
