FIRST ELECTIONS [V.2 - 2007]
Sarah VanagtGoma (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
Nicolas ProvostPlaying with the physiological and cinematographic principle of the after-image, Provost causes dozens of fast-edited kissing scenes from European and American film classics to collide...
THE HUNDRED VIDEOS
Steve ReinkeEver 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 BüngerIn this intriguing and at times startling exploration of narrative, Bünger collides two very different interpretations of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912.

In Belgium, the town of Ghent was the main centre of the textile industry...
PARALLELOGRAM
Harald Thys - Jos De GruyterOne 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 CasinièreJoëlle 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 CornelisThe 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 CornelisAfter 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....
