DETERMINATION (4)
Hans Op de BeeckThis video image is projected life-size on a wall. It’s an eight-minute, real-time recording, appearing on a white surface, then disappearing and repeating itself without end; very important to realise: this is not a loop.

THE SPINNING WHEEL
Harald Thys - Jos De GruyterHarald Thys and Jos de Gruyter make videos in their own typical style.
