WE WERE MADE FOR LOVING YOU, BABIES ! YOU WERE MADE FOR LOVING US !

Messieurs Delmotte
Registration of a performance by Messieurs Delmotte in Warsaw at the Galeria Sztuki, the 27th May 2011. As the title of the piece refers to the famous song ‘I was made for loving you’ by KISS, Delmotte wears make up very much like the leadsinger of this glamrock band...

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....

DER KREISLAUF

Katrien Vermeire
In her new short film Katrien Vermeire depicts a unique game that is played on Belgium’s beaches in the summer months. When the weather is good, one can find colorful flowers for sale in small, impromptu-built shops. But these flowers hate being watered or rained on, as they are made of paper. Der Kreislauf takes an intimate look at the young players....

A NECESSARY MUSIC

Beatrice Gibson
A Necessary Music is a science fiction film about modernist social housing. A musically conceived piece, referencing the video operas of Robert Ashley, the film explores the social imaginary of a utopian landscape through directed attention to the voices that inhabit it.

TIME STICKS TO THE WALLS

Krassimir Terziev - Tsvetelina Hristova
As I breathe, as I sleep, as I eat, as I swim, as I shiver - I am haunted. (Pause 1) I am haunted by places and times. (Pause 1) I am haunted by other mes that have refused to stay quietly in the domain of the past and are clinging to memories of corridors, laughter, fear, the deep sadness of a present that slowly sinks into the cold dark swamp of a futureless past...

KARAOKE PLAY FUJI

Bernard Gigounon
A white line (a read-and-write head) scanning the landscape guides the musical composition. By using karaoke as an inspiration, and while invoking the tacky universe that in Japan surrounds Mountain Fuji, Gigounon pays homage to this cultural symbol....

TO EACH HIS OWN MASK

Tine Guns
We live in times of crises and failing economic systems. No wonder that questions of change are recurrent. Protest culture is having a revival. Every revolution has its icons. Nowadays, we see the mask show up. Wearing a mask is a carnivalesque strategy. Carnival is a ritual, temporarily dismantling social and political regimes, suspending norms and values...
