ENTRE L'OMBRE ET LA LUMIÈRE

Danièle Nyst - Jacques Louis Nyst
An installation of Jacques-Louis Nyst, in which a blonde woman, dressed in leather SM-outfit, is filmed in a dark room. She performs a slow choreography in which she scinds with a sword and strikes a metal chain. At the end of the sequence, the image changes to a red swing and a voice-over starts singing a simple song "entre l'ombre et la lumière, je me balance, je suis balanceuse."...

REPROMOTION

Jan De Cock
In Repromotion, the first film by the artist Jan De Cock, we see a new perspective opening up in his work. The title refers to the exhibition of the same name held at Bozar in summer 2009, which, together with the artist’s studio in Brussels, provides the backdrop for a surprising tableau...

THE [AS

Peter Downsbrough
THE [AS, shot entirely in the airport of Geneva, Switzerland, is both an observation of daily events in a major transportation hub and a study of the characteristics of this building, which serves several Swiss international and long haul routes to North America, China and the Middle East. Overall, the subdued atmosphere in THE [AS breathes serenity and calmness...

NOU VOIX

Maxime Jean-Baptiste
Nou voix is an autobiographical video departing from the participation of the artist's father, as a Guyanese figurant, in the movie Jean Galmot aventurier (1990), which deals with the history of French Guiana. By re-enacting a part of the film, Maxime and his father try to amplify other kinds of voices that have been unheard in the original French film....

EUROPA VON WEITEM

Eva Meyer - Eran Schaerf
Through a number of conversations Europa von weitem relates the Levantine projection of Europe as it is found in the book by Jacqueline Kahanoff Vom Osten das Licht to other projections inside the continents as well as outside them...

DE ZEGE VAN DE SLANG / LE TRIOMPHE DU SERPENT

Jan Vromman
An ode to simplicity. In this video the universe is reduced to the limits of a terrarium. But since the setting is rather barren and the beast so solitary, God separates the sky from the earth and populates the world with animals and plants. But then he commits a grave error by installing men in the centre of this universe, because before one notices, hell itself brakes loose....

IDIOT'S BREW

Antonin De Bemels
The videos by Antonin de Bemels are - literally - attempts: explorations of the body and gestures, of rhythm and movement. He is fascinated by the importance of a single image and interweaves all kinds of visual stimuli in a complex associative network by means of the 'scrubbing' effect, the visual equivalent of auditive 'scratching'...

BETWEEN TWO WALLS

Ria Pacquée
The work of Ria Pacquée contains narrative aspects, firmly rooted in a social awareness, which do not seem to take shape until the final stage of the editing. ’Between Two Walls’ is a montage of clips showing the worship of people of different faiths in Jerusalem – in the streets, in the temples, at shrines...

INKTPOT

Luc Deleu - Filip Francis - De nieuwe Coloristen
In the dunes of the Belgian seaside town of Koksijde a bunker from World War II is with great deal of sense for detail transformed into a giant inkpot. This early video work is a collaboration between the utopian architect Luc Deleu, painter Filip Francis and the group ‘de nieuwe coloristen’ (translated as ‘the new colorists’)...

SMELL THE FLOWERS WHILE YOU CAN

Johan Grimonprez
Johan Grimonprez transposes an extract from Meg Stuart’s compelling choreography ‘No Longer Ready-Made’ to the anonymous waiting room of a railway station. This colourless space along with nameless travellers provides the excellent setting for Stuart’s hectic and intense convulsions...
