FOR NOW

Herman Asselberghs
In times of great turmoil, time comes to a standstill. The central two movements in For Now are horizontal panoramas shots and firm, vertical edits. They show shifts of place without the journey.

WOMAN WALKING

Charley Case
A screen split in three. A woman giving birth in hospital. A pregnant belly just a few hours before.

BOUWEN IN BELGIË
