A TEAR FOR A GLASS OF WATER

Orla Barry
In ‘A Tear for a Glass of Water’ the actress Tara Casey performs a fragmented monologue written by Orla Barry, to a static camera. A life belt is stranded redundant on the wall. Is it a rehearsal, a lecture? The performance is cold at times severe. Interest in religion has revived proclaims the performer authoritatively. So has toast and marmalade...

FEARS TEARS

Charley Case
Fear and tears are brought to a young woman’s initially relaxed face through Charley Case’s rythmic manipulations. As the image turns darker and darker, the woman’s face is barely discernible any more. Fears Tears is part of the project NOW WON....

ANTENNA SIESTA

Charley Case

ADDICTIVE 01

Edith Dekyndt
‘Addictive’ is a project, which started in the beginning of 2002. On the Internet, several web cams were sought out, aimed at sea and lakeside beaches.

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...

SLAVE UNIT

Cel Crabeels

In the video by Cel Crabeels the idea is applied to a setting with two dancers, a director, the camera, video equipment, the stage and the audience...

A SMALL TOWN IN SPAIN, TRIPTYCH

Jan Vromman

HOMMAGE À … II

Lili Dujourie
The five videos of Hommage à … deal with the same theme as repetition-in-difference, as a continual tracing and retracing, of the figure fold and unfold in the visual field. In Hommage à .....

TENANT

Grace Schwindt
In Tenant, the family home becomes the stage to re-enact a scripted dialogue that takes as a starting point a story about Mrs. Schumacher who was the lodger of the artist's grandfather in Berlin during the Second World War. She was a communist and helped Vladimir Lenin travel from Switzerland to Russia in 1917 after the February Revolution broke out...

THIEVERY AND SONGS

Gernot Wieland
In Thievery and Songs Gernot Wieland has made an exceptionally beautiful, tragicomic and humerous work, framed by the story of a dancer, Hilde Holger, who had to flee from Austria into exile in Bombay in 1938 because she was jewish.
 This collage of moving images is composed of Super 8 film, video, watercolours, drawings, Claymation and his father´s photos...
