VIDÉO RELATIONNELLE (1973 - 1974): COMPOSITION TRIANGULAIRE
Jacques LennepA short formal study on triangular images, shot in the woods and featuring the artist as a performer. The work is conceptual: the camera 'scans' the surroundings showing triangles formed by the legs of the artist, the branches of a tree, a stone, etcetera....
THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 24. VISUALS ELF
Steve ReinkePeople ask me, Steve, how do you manage to make so many films ? Why are they so prolific ? And I say, Oh they are not films but video. It is a simple and effortless process....
ASK THE INSECTS
Steve ReinkePart home-made science (before it became doctrine), part animated video reverie, Reinke’s brief and episodic compression is an incendiary release which opens by announcing the death of the reader, of any audience capable of pulling its fragments together, or better, of dissolving into its tissues, of allowing the body to change shape, to identify, for instance, with an insect. Or a stone....

The artist defines the extension of the body in very broad terms...
THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 19. INTRODUCTION TO THE LOGO
Steve ReinkeI am a person, a company, and an artist. (Otherwise I’d pay a lot more taxes.) As an artist, texts are produced under the authority of my name. It seemed appropriate to develop a logo....
PRESSURE
Jan Dietvorst - Roy VillevoyeA portrait of Mumbai as a pressure cooker. The city could boil over at any moment. The attacks in November 2008 only serve to up the ante. Pressure feels as if the makers, and the viewers too, have suddenly landed in a pandemonium: Mumbai (Bombay). Life in this human ants’ nest occasionally turns out to be still rural and small-town...
EGO
Nicolas ProvostAfter a dizzying trip through the cosmos we see how an astronaut is flung into space. Rudderless, irrevocably heading for the eternal black hole. The images originate from existing films such as Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, the soundtrack offers no redemption. A dystopian vision of the future?...
