FIRST ELECTIONS [V.2 - 2007]

Sarah Vanagt
Goma (Eastern Congo), April 2005. A group of children act out the elections that are to take place in a few weeks — the first democratic elections since the country won independence. The children’s election game comes about naturally, without outside staging of any kind. It includes a lot of violence, and death. The players imitate the discourse of various political leaders...

GRAVITY

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’...

GOD MOVES ON THE WATER

Erik Bünger
In this intriguing and at times startling exploration of narrative, Bünger collides two very different interpretations of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. The music video of Céline Dion’s ’My heart will go on’, featuring clips from the 1997 film ’Titanic’, is manipulated to fit a much earlier blues song about the same event...

DE KLOK SLAAT VIJF: TEXTIELARBEIDER

Jef Cornelis
Some 200 years ago, spinning and weaving used to be a domestic industry. Women and children spun, the men wove. With the invention of the flying shuttle in the eighteenth century, weaving became industrialized. Some time later, in England a semi-mechanic spinning machine was invented. In Belgium, the town of Ghent was the main centre of the textile industry...

PARALLELOGRAM

Harald Thys - Jos De Gruyter
One could say a parallelogram is a deformed rectangle. Its two oblique sides look as if they are about to collapse but the other two stop that from happening...

50 TABLOTINS MUSIQUÉS

Joëlle de La Casinière
Joëlle de La Casinière's 'Les tablotins' are graphic illuminated poems; small paintings-poems. In a video, each one of the tablotins – digitized and enlarged 15 times on the screen – appears as a fixed shot with a soundtrack for about three minutes....

THE STREET

Jef Cornelis
The street is more like a machine of movement equipped to make traffic run smoothly than, in its original and spontaneous form, a breeding ground for life. The efficiency controlling the traffic grid does not merely affect the existing living area, but also the form and pattern of a new way of living. Residential areas have turned into traffic zones; inhabitants are pushed back into their homes...

PATERSHOL, GENT

Jef Cornelis
After a general view of the city Ghent, its horizon and roofs, we are confronted with views of streets and houses in one particular district that is threatened with demolition. A poster announces protest actions against the demolition of the Patershol district....
