PIANISTE
Michel FrançoisFilmed from above, a beggar with a Casio toy on his lap. A few cents in the dish. Street noise. Pretend playing. The Casio’s sample tunes : Mozart’s Turkish March for instance. Passers by don’t notice his make-believe. They don’t truly see him. When others would tend to shut their eyes, the spectator keeps them wide open....
STAR SYSTEM
Edith DekyndtEdith Dekyndt’s work seeks to move us by means of nothing or almost nothing. Things are made and unmade very quickly, and it is this speed between appearance and disappearance, sometimes slowed down to be lost, which makes up Dekyndt’s images. She is interested in simple things, things that already exist in everyday life, things we normally wouldn’t notice they exist...

Cornelis filmed the entire performance, both onstage, offstage and backstage. During the preparations, we see the actors-locals being made up. While the public enters, the tension rises...
FACE À FACE
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...

HET GEEL VAN GENT
Jos De Gruyter - Harald ThysIn this video Jos De Gruyter and Harald Thys put themselves in the shoes of the two main characters.

Man is unfathomable and soulless, merely an object in a world of inanimate things...
