VIOLIN FASE

Eric Pauwels - Eric Pauwels - Eric Pauwels
A solo in two movements; dance and camera. Eric Pauwels twirls the camera around the body of Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker. What we see is not the geometrical and minimalist choreographic structure, but a possessed woman, bathing in sweat, exploring the boundaries of physical exhaustion. A solo in two movements: the dance and the camera. Four uninterrupted takes...

PREHISTORICAL STILLS

Charley Case
Case follows the Brussels-based artist, performer and actor Dirk Hendrikx to his atelier where he performs ‘Prehistorical stills’, an intensive piece of body art involving earth and fire – but also sawdust, stones and a couple of nails. We witness how this singular artist makes ‘paintings’ from the positive imprint of his body....

MÉDÉE

Michel Lorand
The Medea installation is made up of a large, square table with four video monitors. A single actor or actress is seen on three of the four monitors, from the waist up and frontal.

ORNAMENTE DES WILLENS

Koen Theys
Using the same images as in ‘Mediastudien (nach Heinrich Hoffmann)’, Koen Theys continues here in transforming Hitler’s body as a decorative ornament. The title is a combination of ‘Das Massornament’ by Siegfried Kracauer and ‘Triumph des Willens’ by Leni Riefenstahl. The piano was improvised in realtime with the projection of the video....

UNTITLED 5.03

Peter Downsbrough
During almost fifteen minutes the camera explores the transhipment buildings, warehouses and silos belonging to the Werf- en Vlasnatie in the port of Antwerp in endless, mainly horizontal travellings from a driving car. The endless docks turn into a poetical labyrinth with railway containers and trucks, loading docks, pallet boards and goods...

COMPOSITIE

Marie André
André re-organizes time, rhythm and sound in her portrait of the new music composer/pianist Walter Hus, constructing a study of the process of composing. Playing on the title's double meaning — "composition" and "composite" — André isolates musical gestures and fragments time, recomposing Hus' evolving composition...
