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. We are confronted heads on with a family (a man, a woman, 2 little children) running towards us, but on the spot, without actually moving closer...

THE STEWARTS HAVE A PARTY
Hans Op de BeeckThe Stewarts are a carefully cast fictitious family. The various members appear and disappear in an empty white room, like life-sized marionettes dressed in white.

His human models were derived from all layers of the populations, but they shared a common obsession for collecting things or, at the very, least an unusual passion...
THE RABBIT
Messieurs DelmotteIn this early video piece, Messieurs Delmotte seems to find himself in the setting of a magician: a table with a red cloth on which a cute little bunny is waiting. However, after the music started playing, some rather surprising action is going on between the artist-performer and the rabbit. Part of the ‘Century of the 20th Sex’ series....

I interview other people with a similar background. We talk about the reasons we left our homeland to seek a new life in Belgium. What will happen if I stay in Belgium? Will it become a new ‘home’? ...
MYRTLE BEACH
Jacques Louis NystAn early film by Nyst anticipating the work he would make years later: poetical ambience pieces, built around congealed memories, associations arousing from the imaginary and undermining the real. The poetry derives from the editing, from the wide range of colours, from the rhythm of its numerous evocations...
