VIDÉO RELATIONNELLE (1973 - 1974): COMPOSITION TRIANGULAIRE

Jacques Lennep
A 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 Reinke
People 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 Reinke
Part 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....

MORELE HERBEWAPENING

Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven
The term “morele herbewapening” stands for “moral rearmament”. The tape combines images from glossy magazines from the 50s and 60s, mainly home interiors, with drawings of nude women...

THE SOCIALIST

Hubert Marécaille
Repressed homosexual, unable to have children much to the regret of his wife who disapproves of sperm donation, a corporate CEO, disdainful of outsiders, finally reveals his inclinations by going on strike alone, to the surprise of a group of bystanders present at the end of their « Alcoholics Anonymous » meeting – with an unemployed man tired of looking for a job and an office w...

EXTENSIONS

Hans Op de Beeck
In terms of content, the animated film ‘Extensions’ deals with cultural and subcultural rituals, science and technology as extensions of the human body, and as the physical manifestation of an unfailing belief in progress, which is both redemptive and ethically problematic. The artist defines the extension of the body in very broad terms...

THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 19. INTRODUCTION TO THE LOGO

Steve Reinke
I 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 Villevoye
A 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 Provost
After 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?...
