FRAGMENTS
Shelly Silver"Fragments is an ongoing series of short videotapes ranging in length from 6 seconds to two minutes. These tapes can be seen as small drawings or sketches, bringing together pieces of ideas, overheard conversation and glimpsed images.

WAAROVER MEN NIET SPREEKT 1: HOME SWEET HOME
Jef Cornelis’Home Sweet Home’ is a manifesto against the dictatorship of the bourgeois notion of the ideal home. ’I rented a house with a garden’ is still a current slogan, even if people buy apartments, villas and country-houses. People attempt to hide themselves in their homes and as a consequence a kind of social isolation arises that prevents the necessary community spirit...
