GENT, 10 JUNI 1989, VOOR GERALDINE NEREA
Jan VrommanIn this video Vromman shows us virtuoso how a “plan séquence” is capable of exploring a given spatial arrangement notably an abandoned church in Ghent. It is as though the camera possesses a will of its own, or, more appropriately, as it became itself a dancer within the given space...
THEN TO
Peter DownsbroughThrough the camera we inspect the buildings façades, dunes of constructions materials, trains and boats, hangars … A 5 minutes silent black and white travelling shot along a port area that reminds Bernd and Hilla Becher photographic works. ...

OMNIUM GALLORUM FORTISSIME CANTANT BELGAE
Jan VrommanA piece of the universe - in this case Belgium – is isolated in an aquarium in order to observe it more closely. And by the way, isn’t television sort of an aquarium? Two journeys are undertaken: one plunges us into the everyday reality of a typical Belgian café, while another takes us on a train ride exposing scenes of the Belgian landscape....
OUR CITY

But there, in the narrow spaces just beyond the reach of bureaucracy, lies the Brussels that still breathes...
TANIA, MODÈLE POUR PHOTOS DE CHARME
Jacques LennepVideo, apart from photography and holography, was but one of the media Lennep made use of during the 1970s, as he was adding on to his ‘museum of men’. His human models were derived from all layers of the populations, but they shared a common obsession for collecting things or, at the very least, an unusual passion...

Ken Kobland“In November of 2004 I was invited to spend a couple of weeks in Cinque Terre, (a string of towns along Italy’s northern Mediterranean coast). The area is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO because of its exquisite shoreline and the hill towns clustered on its rocky promontories...
VLAANDEREN 77
Jef CornelisTogether with the author Leo Pleysier, Cornelis creates one of his most beautiful elegies of Flanders. They thumb through the landscape as if it were a book, seemingly of new, strange and unknown origins, a colourful patchwork veiling the remainders of smoking battlefields with its bizarre alluring and hidden charms and revealing fragments of a disaster area in its outer corners...
PRÉLUDE N°3
Bernard Gigounon“It all happened one evening. I was in a bar, quietly having a drink. A man sat down beside me and as we were alone, we started talking together. We spoke about red wine, women and music and at this moment, I realized that this man was Claude Debussy. I told him that I made videos and explained my work to him...
