MOVING STORIES

Nicolas Provost
Nicolas Provost plays once more with the grammar and the codes of (Hollywood) cinema. With a limited number of images, an absorbing soundtrack and a minimal story line, the artist tries to stimulate the viewers’ imagination to the maximum. Moving Stories strings together some four fragments of flying passenger airplanes. Gleaming in the sunlight, they glide high above the clouds...

VIETNAM ROMANCE

Eddo Stern
Much like Stern’s ’Sheik Attack’ (2000), ’Vietnam Romance’ (2003) is compiled from the sources available on the computer desktop environment - games, graphics and music...

SOLO FOR TUMBLING WOODBLOCKS

Filip Francis
The artist is setting up wooden domino blocks in the Sint-Annatunnel in Antwerp. Then he records a close-up of the blocks tumbling. His experiments with the woodblocks continue in his studio. The succesful pieces he will use again in his exhibitions, which he also records....

SAME RIVER TWICE / DEUX FOIS LE MÊME FLEUVE

Amir Borenstein - Effi Weiss
In 1869, John McGregor, a Scottish adventurer and explorer, set out on a journey along the Jordan River from the river source to the Sea of Galilee. As he gazed down from the northern reaches of the Jordan he wrote: "To say the very least of this scene, it was at any rate pretty. What it would seem if bereft of its holy associations and remembrance of a hundred armies that came this way [.....

J'ESPÈRE QUE VOUS ALLEZ BIEN

Boris Van der Avoort
Taken from film archives, this playful and nostalgic ‘montage’ wants to picture the lives and hopes of three generations of a Belgian family between 1931 and 1997. Images belonging to the family possessions take us back to childhood and play, journeys, relationships, dancing...

EXPO CHAMPÊTRE

Koen Theys
A white monitor, a white table and chair. The viewer can go and sit in front of the screen. Images out of the oeuvre of the artist appear and move by slowly in a perfect white landscape as if they were floating in a vacuum. Buses, cottages, a table, trees, lighting posts, groups of tourists with their cameras ready, a doorknob. The objects move along in an endless procession...

A WEEKEND WITH MONSIEUR MAGRITTE

Jef Cornelis
’a weekend with Monsieur Magritte’ was compiled from fragments of amateur films Magritte made himself on super-8 and 8mm. The first part – ’Saturday’ – drew from the films he shot in the 1956 -1960 period together with his friends from Brussels and from the recordings of his own works...

COGELS OSYLEI, BERCHEM

Jef Cornelis
Cogels Osylei is an unique district, built around 1900 on the outskirts of Antwerp. With its exuberant mixture of neo-styles and Jugendstil, it was often discarded as the absolute limit of bad taste, to the point that plans were made in the 1970s to tear down the area altogether...
