OVERZICHT TITELS

I HATE THIS TOWN

Nicolas Provost
"Softcore images on hardcore rhythms". This video consists of a collage of extravagant character action close-ups in porn films. Their suggestive movements were repetitively edited onto the rhythms of electronic music, resulting in a slapstick situation....

RAOUL DE KEYSER

Jef Cornelis
Jef Cornelis made this portrait of the famous Belgian painter Raoul De Keyser in 1971, on the occasion of his exhibition ‘Linnen dozen, sneden en zware kalklijnschilderijen’ (‘Linen boxes, cuts and heavy chalk line paintings') in the Plus-Kern Art centre in Ghent, Belgium...

CONTAINED MOBILITY

Ursula Biemann
’Contained Mobility’ concentrates on the suspended time-space of translocal existences, and the politics of mobility and containment. The video project looks at the situation currently emerging from the changes to, and prompted by, the regulation of movement across Europe’s borders...

Silent Letters, 2009, Mira Sanders © the artist

SILENT LETTERS

Mira Sanders
Silent letter is divided into six monitors. Five of them present a video sequence in which lines of sharing, contours, observation, positioning (1 x n) in the landscape, urban space, and the artist studio, are introduced. Each video, inscribed with a date, delivers the story of a foreign observer. This story is subtitled on a black screen...

FAKIR NECK-TIE

Messieurs Delmotte
This work is part of the series UNDO / REDO...

_IMOVIE[3]_: SILVER LIPS / FOR ME

Els Opsomer
A few years ago Els Opsomer went to Palestine. There she shot the first of her three ‘_imovies_’ with the Apple software she uses to edit her photo-based digital videos. These films are video letters expressing feelings of estrangement, and they give evidence of the difference between the world as it is experienced and the objective world ‘out there’...

TELEVISION MAN

Michel Bonnemaison
The actor Enrique Ariman, in a state of ecstasy at the foot of Mount Sinai, raises certain still burning issues, even if, these days, they are acquiring a quaint charm. He is filmed by oscillation, with a small shaking camera, and does not blink once in 40 minutes...

WAX CANDLES

Messieurs Delmotte
In a church Delmotte cannot resist to blow out all of the candles. This work is part of the series 'Rejected videos'...

LE CYGNE ET SON IMAGE

Jacques Louis Nyst
The title in 'Le cygne et son image’ soon becomes the white canvas on which Nyst has drawn what appears at first as a tail or a path. The screen is horizontally divided in two, the lower part occupied by the canvas and the upper by Nyst’s naked body. When the swan the title refers to appears, it may seem that it is its own image that it contemplates on the white surface...

FRÄNZ ÜND KOFÖN [PART]

Messieurs Delmotte
A short video, part of a serial, in which Monsieur Delmotte pretends to be a German Artist. Standing in front of a door, he holds a seemingly very serious and highbrow speech in a language that is supposed to represent German. Only here and there words like “Ausstellung, Künstles, Sheisse,…” are understandable. This work is part of the series FränZ ünd KoFöN...
