EFFEN SPIEGEL VAN EEN STILLE STROOM

Lili Dujourie
The first frame shows an empty interior. On the left there are a brightly lit surface and a mantel support on the floor; to the right stands a female figure clothed in shirt and jeans. The scale and perspective seem skewed, and it is not until she moves out of the visual field that we notice that the right half of the screen is a mirror reflecting the space behind the camera...

OFFICE BAROQUE

Cherica Convents
This video documents the thinking behind and making of Office Baroque, an on-site work the American artist Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978) created in 1977 in an empty house in the centre of Antwerp.

THE WORLDWIDE WEB OF SORROWS

These are images of me when I was a child and carefree, but this voice is my voice as an adult....

AS ] THEN

Peter Downsbrough
In AS ] THEN static, photographical images are alternated with, among others, shots from a driving car. The recordings were partly made in the immediate surroundings of the former Wielemans-Ceuppens brewery in Brussels; the locations consist of building yards, the railroad, a crossroad and a railway viaduct. These images are linked to recordings made on Boulder Highway in Las Vegas...

CONSTANT

Marie André
A woman, a man, and a beach on the North Sea are the basic elements with which André constructs an elegant fiction of a couple, and deconstructs the codes and gestures of desire and betrayal. In her formal, rhythmic compositions, André observes the intimate detail and familiar gestures of the everyday with striking visual acuity...
