THE CURSE

Harald Thys - Jos De Gruyter
In the same minimalist style that would later on characterize 'The Bucket’ (2001) and 'The Spinning Wheel’ (2002), 'The Curse’ tells Maria’s unhappy story.

At the same time the image systematically and meticulously explores the painting of a landscape.  Elements are related to one another: the rhythm of the image, the spoken and the written words...

WHITE LADY

Jacques Louis Nyst - Danièle Nyst
A videodance inspired by David Lynch’s 'The Elephant Man'. Though not clearly obvious in the piece, Nyst presents five tableaux that recall John Merrick’s mother’s life. The piece, openly Romantic and dramatic, flirts with the border of kitsch...
