SUPERPOSITION

Filip Francis
This work is the result of a collaboration between Filip Francis, Luc Deleu and Wout Vercammen. It is an early experiment with image in image, split screen, zoom in, fading, overlaps and other techniques that made the medium video—just out of the cradle in the 1970s—so exciting. The three artists took the camera and set out with great enthusiasm...

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...

CURUPIRA, BICHO DO MATO

Félix Blume
Deep in the heart of the Amazon, Tauary inhabitants invite us to listen to the sounds of the jungle, the birds, and animals. However, some weird sounds appear: a creature prowling around the trees. Some of them have heard her, very few have ever seen her, and those who did find her never came back...

ECLIPS

Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven
In ‘Eclips’ Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven uses a disturbed fragment from Michelangelo Antonioni’s classic ‘L’Eclisse’. The film contains a scene in which actress Monica Vitti turns her back to the camera. Her turn is digitally slowed down and further manipulated by Van Kerckhoven...

PATRIA (VIVE LE ROI! VIVE LA RÉPUBLIQUE!)

Koen Theys
Video installation for 1 projector and 1 flat screenmonitor. In his book ‘The End of History and the Last Man’, the American philosopher Francis Fukuyama defends the idea that the end of history is reached.
