THE HUNDRED VIDEOS

Steve Reinke
Ever attuned to the conceits of the art world, Steve Reinke’s - perhaps ironic - aim was to complete a hundred videos before the year 2000, his thirty-sixth birthday. They would constitute his work as a young artist. In 1997, well ahead of schedule, Reinke had finished ’The Hundred Videos’...

FLASHFORWARD

Eran Schaerf - Eva Meyer
The work of Meyer and Schaerf explores the transitional area between the meaningless and the meaningful, especially the process during which unrelated scraps of meaning move between various possibilities, ultimately converging into a cluster of emotions and associations. At the same time traditional sign systems of language, image and sound are undermined and new relations are proposed...

THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 55. SYMPOSIUM

Steve Reinke
I dreamt that the University of Minnesota held a symposium of serial killers and Joseph Beuys gave the keynote address....

IN [ TO

Peter Downsbrough
The silent, ultra-short black-and-white video IN [ TO is shorter than a video clip: it clocks in at 2 minutes, 47 seconds. It was made with material shot exclusively for the film, plus footage filmed 'on the occasion', while Downsbrough was working on other projects...

THE INTRUDER

Vincent Meessen
In this video bearing the programmatic title ‘The Intruder’, we see the artist—clad head to toe in an outfit fashioned of white cotton blossoms—strolling along the bustling streets of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The camera, which does not long remain undetected (and unexposed), accompanies the performer while simultaneously recording the reactions of the observers...

DEATH FUCKING METAL

Koen Theys
This video is the third and final part of a trilogy, in which Fanfare, Calme & Volupté (2007) was the first part and PATRIA (2008) the second. In all three video works a group of people in uniform are lying around in a state of depression in a spectacular setting...

TO EACH HIS OWN MASK

Tine Guns
We live in times of crises and failing economic systems. No wonder that questions of change are recurrent. Protest culture is having a revival. Every revolution has its icons. Nowadays, we see the mask show up. Wearing a mask is a carnivalesque strategy. Carnival is a ritual, temporarily dismantling social and political regimes, suspending norms and values...

TOKYO-PICNIC

Pascal Baes
The setting is Tokyo-Sinjuku, towards the end of the month of May. Baes edits microscopic images of blossoming flora and fauna and urbane turbulence in a spastic stream of wriggling shapes and colours. The soundtrack of abrasive sounds and scouring textures complements the atmosphere of confusion and anxiety....

MARINE TARGET

Lukas Marxt
The surface of the Salton Sea reflects the glistening sunlight. Sediment colors the water green at times, at the edge of the image, almost bluish. The camera that captures this gentle flickering and flowing, floats far above a white rectangle...
